I've already passed Abraham's age, but I like going to the hills at every opportunity, I could say they pull me more the older I get. I envy those who write that they do fifty tours a year, personally I don't have those opportunities. Regarding safety in the mountains, based on my own experiences I could add the following:
I completely agree that it's best to go on a tour for the first time with someone who has already done it, or consult with them about the difficulty and possible dangers. Hiking in company is generally nicer and safer.
The general division of paths into easy, demanding and very demanding can be very misleading, because on some "easy" path you encounter an exposed section without protections, and vice versa.
I think that on the poles with information boards about the time distance to certain stations or peaks, there's also missing a board with the inscription, or name of that place (Bogatinsko sedlo, Krnska škrbina..). Regarding the notices about time distances, many seem unrealistic to me, suitable perhaps only for very trained, already experienced hikers on that terrain with above-average physical condition. For a hiker who wants to enjoy the views and take some photos while walking, they can be a source of trouble, or even danger.
I follow contributions on this forum almost every day and would warn that most should be taken with a big grain of salt. There are too many who "jump", "assault", "casually dash" and the like on serious and respectable peaks and tours. But I don't remember when someone warned that they had serious problems, got tangled, had too little water, were poorly equipped...
I have the impression that there is a certain elitism regarding mountaineering, that not everyone can go to the mountains, that it's a privilege of chosen lucky ones, others should wander in meadows. As far as I remember, the Slovenian Mountain Trail is conceived as a kind of incentive so that everyone walking it, not just almost professional mountaineers, can enjoy and discover the beauties of Slovenia, which aren't all even of a mountainous nature. And if that's so, then I wonder if it's justified and appropriate that for the circumnavigator of this trail it's almost impossible to conquer Jalovec and maybe a couple of very demanding or poorly protected points just because they're not experienced enough, don't know how to climb, or are simply a bit scared?! Should they feel less worthy, or risk and challenge accident just to get those few stamps?
