Interesting. You rambled nicely nasmeh

A month ago I went for the first time, and I don't remember having any special problems in that part. But it's possible I was already too dazed from the lower sections and only fog was left in my head. ^^

This is definitely a somewhat different Mrzla gora than most know. Bravo, excellent, the pics are very nice and illustrative.

Wow, excellent, Coffee. Undoubtedly much more demanding than the classic. Both technically and ... well, orientation-wise for sure! Real wilderness. mežikanje

I have some questions (to Mrzla gora I went only on marked paths):
- where does the path over Hudi prask start?
- how is the traceability, any cairns?
- what is the difficulty - comparison e.g. with
Findenegg's ice climb on Montaž?

Thanks for answers!

dprapr16. 08. 2017 14:11:47

Interesting approach to the ridge! Janez, the "path" starts right after the GRS hut. Some cross higher, near the memorial plaque. The traceability is not the best. You can't compare it to Findenegg, because there it's a marked path with easier scrambling, here very demanding pathless terrain. Especially the entry is demanding due to the smoothness of the rock. Both are quite crumbly though.

In principle you could go along the path shown in the upper pictures from 3 to 9. Then instead of up you continue roughly at the same level to the right through a short section with trees. On the other side of this section a view opens to the characteristic triangular scree field, next to which on the left side the entry gully runs, which then continues to the right. I think picture 1 will make it clear.

No matter which path you choose, the key is to reach the triangular scree field, because on the south side there are many gullies and you can enter the wrong one by mistake.

When I first went alone through Hudi Prask I had the biggest orientation problems above Prask, there where the scree is.
As for the entry, the left one is slightly easier than the right. Both come together later. mežikanje

Oh, and if you go first time alone, take a rope with you...just in case.

@coffee, then we were close met but no, I also went through Hudi Prask then via classic☺

Start at the triangular scree for bajta GRS Celje

Triangular scree which is not that small is on the right

Then it opens up....pillar in the middle that divides the right and left entrance

A section of the path was carried away by a landslide

And further uphill through passages heavily overgrown with brush

On Latvica I don't know why I dawdled so much that it took so long to reach Latvice....the weather was excellent so you see more when taking it easy

The summit was deserted on my arrival then a few arrived at the top but no crowds here anyway

coffee16. 08. 2017 17:51:58

You're right Tone. Even when I was still at the top no one came from Latvice/Matkov kot side. But it was quiet on classic all the time so I didn't even know someone was there.

pohodnik3816. 08. 2017 19:24:55

Eh, I went alone cuz they deleted my post 3 times in Hribolazec group so I said screw you all, I go alone like always and walk more carefully so nothing flies down behind me, that's why you didn't hear anything nasmeh

Today from Matkov kot first to Krnička gora then on to Mrzla gora and descent to Okrešelj.
Above the rock jump shortly before Latvica I turned right at the cairn towards Krnička gora, need to cross quite steep gullies to get to the ridge near the top.
Entire ascent to Mrzla gora summit I enjoyed in solitude while from Logarska dolina direction there was a real crowd on all paths.

Still far to Latvica and Krnička gora, right Matkova kopa.

In the middle Latvica and to the right Krnička gora.

View of the traversed path from Škaf, where there is no more snow.

View back at the traverse at the rocky step.

Towards Ledinski vrh and Baba, behind Kočna and Storžič.

Brana, Turska gora and Turski žleb in the shade

there were quite a lot of people on Mrzla gora today

towards Okrešelj, behind Krofička, Ojstrica, Planjava and Kamniško sedlo

31.8.2017 - one loop for the last sunny August day.
Kamniška Bistrica - Kamniško sedlo - Okrešelj - Mrzla gora - Koroška Rinka (Križ) - Turska gora - Kamniško sedlo - Kamniška Bistrica

Path to Mrzla gora is really excellent, ironware plenty and hope it stays that way. Path to Rinka and further more or less without features, nice "climbing". Here and there a peg pulled out and wire a bit looser but nothing problematic. Path over Kotliče where there was landslide is really nicely restored. nasmeh

Nice day, nice views, sun still has lots of power so extra liter of water in backpack would be good. nasmeh

From Mrzla gora towards Rinkam...path which also leads to Savinjsko sedlo

Path to Kamniško sedlo across Turska gora...

Kranjska Rinka and Skuta, Grintovec in the background

Brana, Kamniško sedlo, Planjava, Ojstrica in the background

Mrzla gora and Rinka ...ridge in the background but I don't know?? :)

Yesterday on Mrzla gora from Ravenska Kočna, path without features...

Yesterday with Branko on Mrzla gora via Hudi prask. Path without features, just a bit snowy on S side. We descended via normal route to Okrešelj. Very nice area even though foreign mountains for me but I'll come back 100%. mežikanje

Nice that you visit "our" mountains too.
Yes, now it's time again for "foreign" mountains. velik nasmeh

Mrzla gora - ascent via Hudi Prask and descent via classic (western ridge) to Okrešelj

It's already like that, examples attract and if good mentors are examples for repetitions, ... then no obstacles for enthusiasm over these places.
But with every nice photo report also advice or note: enthusiasm or inspiration can be a dangerous trait of some, who in a moment misjudge description and conditions. Ascent via Hudi Prask to Mrzla gora "is not simple", on the contrary very demanding and in places also orientationally complicated. There are quite a few passages that must be known, so not to stray into trouble. Otherwise the classic via marked and signposted path is difficult enough. But circular paths are law for mountaineers anyway.
And one more info: Dom on Okrešlju is being renovated, but still operates for visitors.

Start of the path in the forest behind the GRS station at Okrešelj.

here up under the first chimney at the beginning

easiest upwards on the scree on the right

first climbing section - difficulty around II starts quite soon

... and then another slightly harder section follows

the central gully is initially still quite wide

then it narrows, scree and piled stones are troublesome for progressing

in the second half of the long gully - view back

just before the end of the gully we exit to the left and continue traversing under this green scree

we continue up this clearing in the middle

there are quite a few such small peaks on the ascent, here we exit onto a small green saddle

cairns are rare, from here to the right and up - first time on the summit ridge

the ridge goes up and down, it is more overgrown from the left, steeper from the right, but not too narrow

nice ridge walk with views, below Matkov kot

in between there is one demanding descent, which is followed below by a left bypass

and also one must cross some scree in the traverse

on the other side of the ridge one can briefly exit to the north side into the upper part of Latvice

here we join the marked path from Matkov kot

then it takes quite some time to get used to the markers again

and the secured path to the SE ridge of Mrzla gora also drags on and is not exactly simple

we descend the classic marked path along the western ridge

Even the classic marked path is quite demanding for the descent in places.

Even on the classic descent it is sometimes safer to go ritensko.

In the afternoon Okrešelj is already in the shade.

The hut at Okrešelj is being renovated, ... but it will remain open throughout October.

After a long time, brother Vinko and I finally managed to agree on a joint tour.
Both of us are in years, so need some shaking up now and then. mežikanje

We started at Rinka, climbed to Okrešelj and via "sport wall", which is still nicely snowed in, approached the cliff of Mrzla gora. We traversed past the entry of Central gully to the last big gully and up it in excellent conditions to the ridge. Despite good conditions not many visitors seen. We noticed only three in Turski žleb and then five below Škaf.
Ridge from Mrzli dol already mostly bare and so descended via Latvica, which is still nicely snow-covered. In between viewed Škaf, measured it (21m) and continued from hunters' hut up to saddle, found little path on descent and finally through forest road buried with trees broke through near Logarski kot and up the valley to car.
While we were up, huge crowd gathered in valley.
