What about after Findenegg, no traces that anyone has walked?

You need some more balls for Findenegg, especially when crossing the Velika polica to Suringar, or rather a bit before Suringar you turn directly upwards to Findenegg. People generally go to Montaz very rarely in winter, regardless of the route chosen.

Nice. Picture 7 - from Viš, Koštrunovi spici, across Poliške špice to Montaža. Where was that again when I hiked it. "How time flies".

Today a nice circular route to Montaž on the right side of Findenegga, which is still snow-covered to the top. Čakanje to the east, then along Pipanova transversely to Špik hude police and back to the valley. The path from the parking lot to Špik hude police is dry.
No light was needed, the moon was shining nicely1

For the weekend we planned a high-mountain treat starting at Pecol. First we climbed to Špik above the hudic police, which was expectedly very visited. We even met two Koreans velik nasmeh. After a short return we continued on the Leva path towards Montaž, then after checking the conditions we climbed it as well. It had rather little traffic, but we all used Pipan's ladder. From the direction of Findenegg there wasn't a living soul.

Current conditions... on the Leva path there is no mention-worthy snowfield, at the junction of this path and the classic towards Montaž there persists a long and steep tongue of avalanche debris. We bypassed it on dry ground a bit higher. Further on there are no more difficulties all the way to the top of Montaž. There are also a lot of chamois, especially the curious young ones are everywhere nasmeh. Old bucks weren't visible this time. More in the photo-story …
Quite a few of us slept on Pecol. Some even came with XXL motorhomes on the steep road1
The Kanin mountain range still has quite a bit of snow on the northern side2
There are a huge number of ibexes this time3
They are quite curious, and above all they are not at all afraid of humans4
They are just changing their coat, so they look quite shabby :)5
The Pecol plateau with Kanin and Žrd in the background6
A Korean couple, husband and wife. They are babbling completely incomprehensible Korean7
On the summit of Špik there is mostly Slovenian representation :)8
Špik right in front of the nose. Apparently you can get there without winter equipment, but the continuation is unknown9
Our path will go in this direction. In the foreground is Špik above the avalanche, in the background Montaž10
Here we branch off onto the Sentiero attrezzato Augusto ed Elenita Leva11
The stone girl has been looking into Zajzero for years and years :)12
But we are mainly looking at our feet …13
It is getting hot and excess clothing quickly goes into the backpack14
A pleasant ascent follows. We know the path well and we always like it :)15
The steel cables are flawless, in many places the steps are also helpful16
Curious youngsters :)17
After a longer rocky section the path levels out18
Hmm … I wouldn't grab that rope :)19
Traverse …20
The path is narrow, but it is of military origin21
The passages are of all kinds, from completely undemanding to exposed22
Here is already one of those …23
All in all it has a rather dolomitic appearance24
Beautiful path :)25
Immediately at the end of Leva a steep snowfield appears26
We have winter equipment, but we prefer to choose an easier passage a bit higher27
View back. The right variant of the path right next to the rocks is still under snow28
Also in the direction of Pipan there is still some …29
This is how it looks :)30
We are already at the entrance to the via ferrata31
This is new. The old ladder went more to the right32
The continuation follows the old route, only the ladder is of a more modern type33
This is the reason why they moved the route. The previous variant was on the direct fall line of the scree34
Now the summit part is much more to the left, so the possibility of rocks being dislodged onto those below is greatly reduced35
In the area of the military observation post. The black debris underfoot is coal with which the soldiers warmed themselves36
Surprise, a squad of Spaniards :)37
Towards the summit …38
Besides one Italian we are completely alone39
The only snowfield at the summit40
From this direction there are no traces. Given the date, Findenegg should still be quite flooded41
Zajzera. Once there was a shallow lake here, which over time was filled with torrent gravel42
We are returning in the direction of access. On the left are Špik and its lower neighbor Nabojs43
The entire today's loop is extremely scenic :)44

Super, the mountain pasture is open and we are served quickly :) Only a short return to the starting point follows55

With daughters yesterday loop above Pecol. To Montaž via Findenegg gully, then down Pipan ladder, and via Leva ferrata also to Špik Hude Police.
Traverse towards Suringar bivouac is quite exposed, mostly unsecured. Except at one spot in small gully where rope is fixed, and on most crumbly part where cable is. Ascent via Findenegg gully is very nice climbing, rock solid, towards top bit more scree but nothing worse as not broken and crumbly. At couple places in gully over some jumps need to pull quite hard (think at some places where red dots lead not easiest either). Ridge to top very nice and at some places quite airy.
Met no one. On entire path to top and on top we were alone. First people met on descent but only one Austrian couple.
On newly routed path via Pipan ladder went first time and now become quite airy and excellently secured ferrata (would say B/C), additional ladder in lower part quite spectacular. SVK definitely highly recommended. Leva ferrata also nicely renovated, at key places very well secured, still some exposed grassy traverses unsecured. Hanging ladder that was on ascent/descent in notch with Špik Hude Police no longer there, instead pitons fixed. On Špik Hude Police as usual quite some people but no excessive crowding.
Played a bit with idea to continue via Ceria Merlone ferrata but weather started closing as forecast so descended via classic to Brazza hut (beer 6 eur, Fanta 3.5 eurnasmeh). Descent from Špik Hude Police always makes me think. Although path completely easy wide and comfortable it is objectively quite dangerous as any wrong step and fall over those grasses can be fatal.
Chamois of course quite a few mostly females with young no big males in sightnasmeh.
Rabelj lake warm but due to too little water not flowing so accordingly puddly with bit unpleasant smell.
A nice day is in store.1

I would say everything was a bit harder and more exposed because you had your daughters with you. One sees more dangers then. Well, as far as I know about that smile.
But the photos are very good!!

Very nice photos nasmeh. The daughters are also very fit and real mountain goats (meant positively nasmeh). All congratulations! Repeaters should be warned that the ascent via Findenegga is a serious mountaineering feat and that previous experience is definitely needed. I think the hardest part is getting to Findeneg's gully, as some ledges above Clapadorio (the gorge deep down there where the final "air") are very narrow and the feeling is really extremely airy. I myself think that for the descent on the "normal route" SVK is needed, without it it can be mentally taxing, I mean especially the section of steel cables that lead to Pipan.

When RD's daughters have them, buy them proper hiking boots instead of dragging them on such paths in sneakers.

Approach low shoes - more precisely TX4 LaSportiva - I used for ascent to approx. 170 two-thousanders.

Trobec12. 08. 2026 11:47:11
I'm just realizing that in demanding terrains like ZZ paths, ZZ off-trail, well there where there are climbing sections, low hiking shoes are better than heavy clunky boots. Due to greater mobility you simply climb more easily on your feet.
They are of course less suitable for scree descents.

ločanka12. 08. 2026 12:32:52
For me low shoes were never suitable in the hills, because I quickly twisted my ankle, because there is no solid side support that protects the foot. It is also true that with low shoes you also risk hitting a rock much more than in high ones. This is my opinion regarding the suitability of one and the other nasmeh.

So we're back again to how someone is equipped.rolling
It seems to me there's a bit of envy towards this cute family that cheerfully hikes in the mountains.
Until about age 60 I mostly didn't even hike in summer with high boots in our high mountains. In old age I switched to mid-high, mainly to avoid complications with insurance companies.
