I see that quite a few of us need info on the Kluže - Rombon tour.
Is there any snow, are crampons needed?
We'd go on Sunday morning.

Doesn't the upper picture say it all even though it's from the other side?

Winter will be long up there, especially May was cold with a few warm days. Ice axe, crampons, helmet or check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqo5a9zl2f8

Yesterday members of PD Šmarje pri jelšah and PD Šentjur on Rombon. Start in Kluže. Walk past fortress "Fort Hermann" and "Kota 1313", from where nice view of Bovec valley. In upper part need to cross several snowfields so caution not superfluous. Snow is southern and footprints well trodden so goes without crampons. Since summit still completely covered with snow stamp not in sight.
Descent to Bovec but not on marked path. At junction for Bovec still very much snow and path not safe. So returned part of path on ascent path then off-path to monument on Čukla from there on marked path to Bovec.
Weather fantastic hot and wonderful views. Just need to take lots of liquid with you.

Log below Mangrt, left Jerebica, behind Mangrt

blueberries just in flower, a few meters higher already the first snow

remains from WWI, everywhere something can be found and seen

The logbook box is visible, but there is still some snow on the summit.

Thanks for the info. IGOR, sorry for the mistake.

merkurhg7. 07. 2014 20:19:05

I don't know how accessible it is from Čukla, there's still quite a bit of snow on that scree field, I went from Kluže.

damjan.stros@gmail.com7. 07. 2014 20:36:55

Just in case I'll take crampons and ice axe with me. I was up there on 1st May when it was all still under snow, then without crampons and ice axe it wasn't possible.

Has anyone been to Rombon recently? Is there still any snow, or do you need winter gear?

Thanks for the reply.

We two went on Monday via the path from Kluže. The path is indeed long but wonderful. Meadows full of colorful flowers, rock formations as if made by the most precise sculptor. But there are still huge remains from WWI, which embitters all the beauty despite everything. Glad we did this tour, no desire to repeat (due to length and scorching sun)! No trace of snow on the path anymore!

Start at 670 m. To Goričica at 1350 m dry. Then snow starts and increases to Čukla 1767 m. Up to here well trodden, then towards Rombon still fully snowed, so deep sinking. To the top of "Naklo" at 2000 m quite a lot of snow, from there sunny side, so much less snow and no problems to the summit.

Hi.

What are the conditions like these days on Rombon? nasmeh

techouse1. 05. 2015 12:25:52

On 29.4. I was at the summit.
Path to Čukla 99% dry. Under west ridge of Čukla still some snow patches here and there.
Snow starts around 1900 m on scree under west ridge of Rombon. North gully 'Naklo' icy till about 11 a.m., ideal for ice axe plunging and crampons. nasmeh

Summit south slope, mostly dry, has few snow patches that get mushy quickly after 11 a.m. and dangerous, as several-meter-deep holes hide underneath. Gotta be inventive to find rock path. At 2 spots have to cross them unfortunately, and there crampons and 2 ice axes really pay off.

On Friday via Kluže - Kota 1313 - Rombon - Čukla - Zavrzelno - Široki plaz - Kluže.
Spent a great solitary day, as I met only two hikers.

that one is already returning from the summit

Kota 1313 - position of the Austro-Hungarian artillery observation post

remnants of history for in memory and warning

there was no view from the top, as clouds were playing on the neighboring peaks

after a few moments it's back - view towards Rombon summit

then I arrive in Zavrzelno, Bovec behind

Summit worthy of all respect. Due to its difficulty alone, especially because of the history. I just stood there trying to imagine life up there in the hot summer sun and cold winter.
Back then the mountain was more alive. Today I met only one female hiker. The sheep on the summit wanted my company. Especially the ram was bold, ramming into me.
