Tone, you picture me everywhere.
Where did we miss each other, if we were half an hour before you at the top? Maybe right below the summit when we took the shortcut. There two went toward the top meanwhile?
We two also started a few minutes past five below Rinka.
Regards

Nice day was forecasted, and it was! A little past half past six in the morning from the car below Rinka quick to Okrešelj for coffee, then to Cold Mountain. I thought I was first and probably only on this path today, but on the climbing part I caught up with a friendly chatty older (I count myself young ) couple from Zagreb who slept at Okrešelj and to their regret left too early in the morning (no coffee  ). Path mostly known, so nothing to say in these conditions, climbing is pure pleasure. Summit not alone, up there already hut girl from Ledine, then arrived mountain running younger couple (healthy ankles ) à la our Red Bull. Followed pleasant relaxing chat about paths and mountains in general. Runners of course continued to Rinke and Kamniško sedlo, we one by one smartly down. Descent in climbing part one of those that lasts just a bit less than ascent , lower from Okrešelj crowd...like Saturday!!! Nice day, nothing else...beer in the valley - classic!

On your tour everything is fine, only the little beer should have been turned properly upside down, otherwise you have to do everything again!!!

You know that beer got warm in my backpack and didn't go down too well for me.

I'm really interested in this Mrzla gora. Some say it's awfully hard and demanding, others that there's no problem at all. So how is it? Is anything secured, does it make sense to use a self-belay kit? Or is there nothing and you have to be a proper alpinist already? Do you go on two (legs) or on all four (hands and legs)? Is it like on Olympus, where almost nothing is secured, but you can nicely get to the top if you don't have vertigo?

navdušena, Mrzla gora is like this. I put off going up there for four years because everyone scared me how bad this Mrzla gora is, some even compared it to alpinistic climbs etc. It's true that difficulty depends on what stuff you're made of and how you perceive the mountain. I'm not some top alpinist nor the kind of hiker who'd dare go alone on e.g. very demanding pathless terrain. But in 2013 I climbed Mrzla gora together with three mates, from Okrešelj direction, and I can tell you - nothing special. That's how I saw it. For me e.g. the descent from Jalovec was harder than from Mrzla gora. Anyway nothing so very earth-shaking. True, you can't go up with hands in pockets, you need to climb a bit, caution needed even on easy paths. Just go boldly, then report how it was for you. Self-belay kit though you have nowhere to use on this mountain.

I was thinking the same when heading towards it. Should I go or not... the closer it got, the more I looked for another goal and reasons not to go I admit the comments here scared me a bit. Well, then we turned up anyway and I must say I was thrilled. Definitely don't want to say it's easy. I head to every summit with respect for the mountains. Protection almost none (only some at the start), holds plenty, vertigo really not good to have It's like a pyramid and when on top all effort rewarded with great views. We went from Okrešelj. Just courage and good luck.

Mrzla gora is "difficult" only for those used to paths with cables and pegs. Somewhat exposed only the section above the viewpoint ledge, steep rugged slab and narrow passage connecting the summit part of Mrzla gora..
Hanz's in Prisank, in the upper part where not secured, has even harder sections.
Definitely a path not suitable for beginners. Especially not for those who didn't acquire movement skills in steep terrain in youth.

I was on Mrzla gora from Matka's side. For me personally the descent to Latvice made some trouble, which I did longer than the ascent . I didn't know how to turn around because of the considerable steepness and looseness. Half way back to Latvice I went backwards . Despite the demands I'd do this path again, because it goes through really nice areas.

Drago is right - usually on such paths there are lots of pegs and cables and that's exactly why MG is attractive.

What about scree and stones on the path and steps themselves? Because if it's like on Velika Baba in that gully towards the slabs or like on Frischauf's to Mlinarsko sedlo, then it's Russian roulette, especially descent.

Hi, on Mrzla gora a self-belay kit is almost necessary, or not? Which path is the easiest? Thanks for the answers.

SVK is almost useless on Mrzla gora paths.
Sections with slings are rare and short. And it'll be even more unnecessary when you have to climb where it's not protected.
Both paths are demanding!
From Matkov kot it's more varied (gully, scree, rubble, snow patches, rock jumps, ridge...).
From Mrzli dol the path mostly follows the ridge and has more compact rock.
Rocks and scree on paths no more than elsewhere.

There, where I went from Mrzli dol, you don't need a self-belay kit. I didn't even take a helmet; I left it in Kranjska koča. This ascent is pure poetry and I'd go again right away. lp
