Rogljiček and Krniška Špica

I did the ascent last Sunday, conditions unchanged. Already before 6.00 I set off from Jezerska Valley along Bela Potok Valley. Under the trail a stream murmured, losing power with altitude. Here and there a bird called, mountain tops already in sun. My step somehow didn't flow. Below Brunner hut at water I meet dark-haired girl descending. Pretty face with sad expression. Barely greets and hurries down path. Did someone disappoint her at night? Hut quiet, still sleeping. I go on. Much higher turn up to Škrbina Belega potoka-Forc. Rio Bianco. Below south wall of Rogljiček turn left to half-grassy gully. Don't go straight to top but right into rocky gully. Walk and climb, difficulties not over poor II, soon to small saddle where other route from north, continuation not hard but crumbly here and there, last meters rock firmer. Spacious summit partly with brush. Descend by ascent route back to trail to Gorizia bivouacs. Sun full power, past Gorizia bivouacs to Krniška škrbina. Below summit much scree and some rocks from fall. There other side turn right under notch and up known route to Krniška Špica summit. Krniška Špica highest peak over Bela Potok valley, route faded marks, no protection, diff I, II, II- down to Corsi hut, greet Ester and Christiana, then path over gullies over Viška glavica back to valley.

Today I did a circular tour and climbed the highest peak above Bela Potok valley. Started at its end in Jezerska valley and along path no. 625 past Brunner hut and Gorizia bivouacs up to Krniška škrbina. Continued over saddle along marked path another 50m, then right branches narrow path leading to Krniška špica. Need to watch cairns and red dots (some poorly visible). Once on right path, just follow those marks diligently. But really need to observe well and search red dots or cairns and easiest passages! Path to summit is climbing II/I. No major difficulties, but as everywhere concentration and secure step needed, also watch falling rocks. On summit peace and quiet and really nice views, especially to peaks above Bela Potok valley. Spent quite some time enjoying summit, then descended path of ascent back to marked path. From there down to Corsi hut and paths 629 and later 650 back to start. Nice tour in this beautiful end of mountains nasmeh

At Krniška škrbina, view towards Koštrun peaks.

From škrbina a bit down, then to the right (path)...

Climbing the rib on the left side of the gully...

In between, we also cross several times.

Gully below the summit section. Photographed during descent...

Clearly visible little path that brings us to the entry into the wall.

Bottom right: path marker to Corsi; bottom left: start of the path to Krniška špica.

I head for path 629 and later 650 to return near the start.

Until we're in the forest it's pretty hot on days like this.

Yesterday along Bela Potok valley past Brunner hut and past Gorizia bivouacs to Krniška škrbina. In "krnica" still some snow allowing comfortable walking, definitely better than later on scree to saddle top. Follows short descent and then ascent to summit. In central gully this year lots of rocks and scree, so caution needed. Descent below saddle and descent to Corsi hut, and over "gullies" to start.
