Beautiful days are really inviting to the white peaks. A month (and even an hour) later than last year, I leave the parking lot in front of the cable car and head up the steep Žmavčarjev slope. The path is pleasant, dry, in some places too much foliage (which was quite annoying on the descent), the recent strong wind also felled some bokali. An unknown benefactor replaced the destroyed lower steel cable with a thin, shiny rope, I hope it will serve its purpose for long. Let me also mention the upper one - better not to touch it! Snow starts a little above the forest exit, at the caves. I hoped it would at least be a bit frozen, but nothing doing. I put on gaiters, sinking to the knees, even higher. Either quit or engage the reducer . Luckily I maintain it well, higher up the conditions improved somewhat, below the long, final flank before the bivouac I also don crampons. Horror. It took me a full two and a half hours to the bivouac. Let me mention that in the middle section of the aforementioned slightly icy flank, at the last moment I dodged a 'fast approaching' stone, which could have been seriously fatal for the shin or knee on impact. Well, at least on the return I had no such fear, because I knew the snow would be soft by then and the stones would be stuck in the snow. In the bivouac I change clothes, drink a beer, photograph the surroundings and head in super conditions toward my Rink wreath. Yeah, almost forgot. The CARELESS ONES have again left both bivouac doors open, although both latches are nicely repaired, just a little effort is needed to make the latch lock properly. I really don't understand such irresponsible people.
If the weather forecasters missed the temperature, they nailed the wind, which above 2200 m was quite annoying, especially on the highest Kranjska Rinka, which I visit first. Visibility fantastic, not a single cloud, time to spare, so I decide to visit all four darlings. Except for a small group on Turska gora and a young couple climbing in Kogl, no living souls anywhere.
Quite a few photos again, hope I'm not repeating myself too much with them.
