Today our rescue angels had work again in the north face of Ojstrica...
Helicopter hopefully picked up the casualties just before the strong thunderstorm hit the area...
Bravo and full respect to you!

So the thunderstorm was not to blame for the rescue?

@Okmodko: what happened and what caused it I don't know... hope nobody was hurt...
Lots of us were around the hills when the thunder started and it began raining...

The helicopter landed a bit below Ojstrica (i.e. below Rjavški vrh) just before the storm, so the storm couldn't have been the reason for the rescue ... if it was a rescue at all, that I don't know.
And also reply to one just deleted comment: there was no risk to life ... You wrote something like that, didn't you

Today I went via the Kopinski route to Ojstrica. The path is normally passable! Lp

Bravo and congrats, Tone. Can't wait for your video that really shows the difficulty of the path. I also plan to tackle Ojstrica via Kopinškova, and I'm really curious what the exposure looks like filmed from the helmet. You nicely filmed Mrzla gora and Dolgi hrbet. Your videos are great info and based on that you can exactly see what the path is like. LP

Exposure is not excessive anywhere - guaranteed.

Path filmed as through hiker's eyes... if it helps those deciding for ascent on this path. I can confirm previous comment: the path is well protected with cables-pegs where they should be so via ferrata set is useful for those who need it, only thing I'd emphasize is extra caution not superfluous on that part where there is snow it's the scree which is a bit "scary" and you cross it in 3-4 steps.

Tone, your contributions are really always a pleasure to read and watch. You help many with that, as it is shown realistically in real life. Safe steps and LP

Super video spiced with good mood while climbing. It's scary to see also that unprotected ridge before entering the narrow chimney and, as you mentioned, that steep scree with snow patch above. Did you have issues with backpack in the chimney, apparently it's very narrow there? It's really a very nice path so time to go. LP

The passage along the ridge to the holds leading into the chimney isn't that bad...........in the chimney it's fine if you go sideways - along the outer edge.....you just have to pull yourself up a bit with your hands, because it's narrow and awkward passage. No more snow on the scree field so no problem. Trip is OK.

...let me add that what pleasantly surprised me most was that Ojstrica was deserted yesterday....on the summit I was alone 3/4 hour, only then a younger couple came over Škarje...on the way down met only three very late hikers (hope all was ok with them....)

@Shati:
As far as I can see on the 11th picture, has the snow patch under the summit already receded from the path?

From Logar Valley, where we overnighted, over Škarje to Ojstrica. Interesting and partly shady path suitable for hot days, which at the top offers really super views of KSA giants and Logar Valley.

On 16.08. I conquered Ojstrica via Kopinškova in gorgeous weather. The path thrilled me; I have to admit I haven't walked a nicer one yet. As panda said, exposure is not exaggerated anywhere. The tour is fitness demanding, especially be careful on loose scree on the ground. Otherwise, the path follows nice natural passages, is well marked and secured. It offers beautiful views throughout. Difficulty is medium. The mentioned ridge is wide enough and secured at the key part; the chimney needs some arm strength. Snow patch is higher above the path. From the summit down to Korošica to Kocbekov dom, then lower path to Škarje. I recommend that as the upper one is very time-consuming and continuously slightly exposed and secured with pegs. From Škarje down to the meadow, then to Rjavčki vrh and back to the valley. Helmet recommended for the tour, self-belay as needed.

Domch: how much shorter is that lower path to Škarje you mentioned? We were on Ojstrica two years ago via Mala Ojstrica to summit then back via Korošica. Now Kopinškova tempts us. So from summit to Korošica then choose other path back to start? Thanks for clarification. val.
