Ojstrica - sunrise

Planina Podvežak - Ojstrica (via Mala Ojstrica) – via Škarje to Korošica
Clear starry night. From Sedelca to the window, a foggy belt. At the summit wonderful sunrise over Logar Valley… smile

The path is not for everyone, as it's marked "difficult marked path", because the summit ridge is exposed in places, before the summit there are some pegs and free climbing on all fours – in the dark the difficulty is amplified. You need to know the path well or do a day trip a week before. Required experience and sense of orientation. Essential to provide good path lighting: I had a headlamp with longer range, wide-angle on the belt, and a light on each leg on elastic cord.
I don't want to scare, but caution is never too much. I wish everyone many beautiful views in these sunny days!

Medo, all congratulations for the achievement. I wish you all the best on all your paths and if you can, which you can, you've proven it, delight us mountaineering enthusiasts again sometime with something similar.
Good luck wherever you go and best regards.

Thanks for all the nice wishes expressed. I too see a lot of nice things and learn new from you on this forum. Maybe I didn't really need so many lights, but better one more than too few: on Kocbek path there are precipices at certain places that you don't see at night. That can give a false sense - but you can't afford a slip. So more light is better for a firm step. Probably a bit easier in the opposite direction around Korošica, but I decided that way.
Otherwise a really nice experience... Enjoy the sun and lpp, Medo
