Hi.

I headed towards Montaž yesterday but was intending the left path to Špik hudih polic, so I turned off already a bit before the ladder.

Two shorter traverses over soft snow are in the last part before the first entry into the wall. Then there is quite a lot of snow right where the left path to Špik branches off. I can't tell you much further what is happening. Hope it helps someone with the decision.

Last few meters before the first scramble

In the last few days while wandering in the Bovec areas, on Saturday with my wife also to Montaž, to the world of ibex, marmots, carnations, cuckoos, capercaillies...

Towards Pipanova ladder on the left side of the snowfield.

Entrance to the secured section of the path.

This one was sunning itself on the little tower below the summit.

I would climb to Montaž in the next few days via Via Amalia - does anyone know how it is with snow patches on this path? Do they hold late into summer, or is the path dry at that time?

I'd take the gear because that traverse up there can still have snow.

In the Findenegg glacier there shouldn't be any snow left (from a conversation with those who climbed up there from Pecol).

Thanks for the info, dprapr. nasmeh

Drago, don't you need crampons?

dprapr12. 07. 2016 16:27:09

From Pecol you don't need them. You cross three short snowfields with good footprints, above under the lojtrca you go left along the snow.
How it is over Amalia I don't know, because I haven't been there lately. Before Suringar there might still be snow!?

Today did a wonderful loop in the western Julians.. Started from Pecol past the hut towards Suringar bivouac (someone left the door open - yogis, blankets everything is wet), then a bit back and via over Findenegg glacier to the top of Kralj.. Descent over lojtra and on to the Leva path to Spik Hude police, and descent back to the car... Glacier crossed without issues, as well as the rest of the path... Even some new markers in the glacier.. mežikanje

Findenegg glacieret, the path avoids the snowfield on the right

From the glacieret, view towards the ridge to the summit

Another one of my questions: is it possible to go through the Findenegg glacier alone and if you haven't been there before? And also - what is the height of the glacier from the bivouac to the ridge?

Pankrt17. 07. 2016 21:35:51

Everything is possible...From the bivouac to the ridge it's around 300m...in height... mežikanje

So, regarding Findenegg - there's really no path, but it's reasonably well marked. Easier climbing, tons (but really tons) of scree. If all that doesn't bother you, then definitely - yes, you can go alone, happily. It's marked and you can't miss much.

Regarding scree, there's really no need to exaggerate mežikanje

There's scree, say, on Grauzarija, and direct descent from Cima Alta, and many other places. Montasio is a real little baby in that regard zavijanje z očmi

Thanks everyone for the information!

janez.novak21. 07. 2016 12:53:11

Yesterday to Montasio from Pecola. Due to foggy weather I went the easier path via the ladder. On the summit ridge it was clear. No snow on the path anymore, most visitors were Slovenians. Next year via Findenegg.
