North Pillar of Skuta

With Domnom we intended to climb the north face of Grintovci via this route.

For several hours we frantically searched for the entry into the route but didn't find it. We ran out of time because we wandered on the Ledenik under Skuta without ice axe and crampons.

Finally we tackled the rock too but abandoned the attempt because we realized the III. degree difficulty limit was quickly exceeded.

Only at home did we figure out where the route really starts. Should go along the glacier all the way to the end of the gully that goes right of the north pillar. Then traverse left back to the ledge. Don't cross the glacier without ice axe and crampons because it's really (steep) ice! The final chasm 5 meters or more deep is also a problem.

Consolation for the failure was a short I to II scramble along the Storžek ridge.

Despite the failure and seeing the wall only from below all day it was pleasant to explore the Jezersko mountains.

LP, Bojan
