It's generally known that it's cold in winter, but that you need cold for a certain ascent probably isn't entirely true. In Neveja it was cold in the morning, but not excessively like -15. The road to Pecol was icy here and there, but no problems at all. At Pecol everything was already in the sun and the beauty was shining brightly. I didn't like the hard track much, so I went a bit my own way, but since everything was slippery, skins and proper technique enabled nice ascent for me. If I was just going ski touring, I definitely wouldn't choose Pecol in these conditions. When I look around a bit I see two people high up, soon I stumble on a backpack and double snowshoes, below the wall entry, also a smaller backpack, ropes, ice screws, poles. Those two got equipped, I think, when I decide to stash skis under the nearby rock and equip myself too. They nicely climbed the first gully, ideal conditions I note. I go on following the predecessors' tracks and behold they misled me, the tracks went straight up somewhere, I go within the frame of the summer path to the right. Conditions excellent, snow hard, dry, no wind, sunshine. When I get under "Pipan's ledge" I watch for those two, but don't see them, when I get even higher, I see the last one who climbed through the pre-passage. From the belay I remove the ice axe and put it in the backpack, and clip to the fixed cable and climb up towards the "ledge". There's little snow, some ice and lots of bare rock, on the ledge it goes excellently for me. Quickly I'm up top, where one of them is belaying the other who's on the rope on the Zajzer side behind. We exchange a few words and I go on. Everything untouched, slightly worried about the ridge, although I know it perfectly, more in dry conditions. I know that at least at three places I need to go to the northern Zajzer side, and cornices could be dangerous. Snow on the south side mostly hard, on the ridge and north side loose, but base is hard. It goes nicely for me, the summit is getting closer, the Italians are still far behind me. I reach the cross, and a couple steps further. The view reaches to the end, so perfect. Good feeling. I go back, slight pull from SW, find shelter in the sun, drink, normally I never eat on tour, this time a piece of chocolate. Then the Italians arrive at the summit, of course we congratulate, Andrea and Riccardo, Triestines, also cavers, know all the pits on Kanin. We chat a bit, look around a bit, I see they don't know many mountains, especially not those in nearby Carnia, but they know Mangart, Jalovec, Krn, Triglav...The valley is still far. I start the descent first, they behind me, they also belay down on the rope, it goes nicely. Well under the ledge they stop, I go on. Soon I'm down at the skis. Although the sun shone all day, the snow didn't soften even a mm. But I don't care, I ski down, making long traverses. The snow doesn't break through even once, I watch for rocks. I stay high, so I nicely reach the Brazza hut. I sit a bit, look up to the summit, to the other shady side of Kanin, down to the Friulian plain. Nothing, have to go on, sun setting behind Žrd, flying down the road like a mad axe, in Neveja cold again, but not too cold.
