Just a few words about the course of the route. In the morning around 9:00, when I arrive at Vršič I see quite a few cars, mostly foreigners. I head via Kopiščerjeva path to Prisank. Already at the start of the path the ascent is almost vertical and it scares many into their bones, higher up the path gets easier. Here you can already see it's September, more moisture, wet rocks, early morning it would probably all be wet. A bit higher before the difficult part a small path misleads me for a moment but later I return to the right path, the markings are in poor condition, faded and you have to look ahead where the path goes, otherwise you can end up in the wrong dangerous spot. I didn't have a via ferrata kit but I still highly recommend it, at certain spots protection is almost essential. This path is surely the hardest of all. Hanzova goes to the top, this path joins the ridge one. When I'm before the hardest vertical part, I wait a little for those ahead, then full gas, they looked at me sideways a bit why I don't have the via ferrata kit, they all had it, friendly Austrians/Germans made way for me. Higher the path gets easier, some easier climbing and soon I reach the spot where the view to the window opens. During the ascent into the window it's a bit awkward because the rocks are wet but to the top of the window wasn't far, last climbing bit and I'm out of Kopiščarjeva path. I continue on the ridge path, which isn't so very hard as Kopiščarjeva, Hanzova or Jubilejna. There are airy spots, but no special words about this path, except about the South one. Under the summit there's heaps of scree, rocks and from this crowd of hikers surely someone triggers it and it flies down, which can be very dangerous, so still I think the Ridge path is the best to climb to Prisank but it's a bit harder. At the top nothing special, half fog half clear, this time only around 5-8 hikers, new logbook, a bit breezy, but still it was already cold. So don't forget gloves, hat and good jacket. Rest, after rest I go towards Jubilejna, interesting path, here and there airy and a bit adrenaline-packed at moments. Window II is really huge, some snow, then continue on Jubilejna, that vertical part under the window, a bit lower I meet two. The guy seemed scared, the girl was waiting for him, both had via ferrata gear. Then followed the return to Vršič, I still like that, paths, tall grass, bushes, peace, views, rock faces. Despite September it was still quite hot, that last ascending part is a bit annoying but what can you do when it's so nice there you just forget. Another half hour or so and I'm at Vršič.
