Skuta

So what are the current conditions on Skuta? Any snow where?

I plan to go up on Wednesday or Thursday. Via Kokrško sedlo.

Today I was on Skuta with my buddy. We started from Konec via Žmavčarje. Just before the wall entry there are still two snowfields. I recommend caution to all inexperienced, because my buddy slipped on both today.

Great weather and even nicer pics. We didn't have such luck on Sunday and the fog took our will to summit, meanwhile shouting to come back. Yeeessss, we replied descending the Žmavčarska slope.

Today on Skuta via Turski žleb, back via Turska gora and Brana. Path dry only under Skuta snowfield ca 20m snow quite hard, had to kick steps (recommend axe, crampons even better).

Hi, anyone know current conditions on Skuta or path from Kokrško sedlo? nasmeh

nata2410. 09. 2009 14:28:55

All dry. Best, Nataša

siegmund10. 09. 2009 16:29:32

Great, thanks. nasmeh

Has anyone perhaps been to Skuta in the last few days? I'm interested in the conditions due to the recent rain or snowfall. I'd also be glad for a response regarding the conditions on the path past Škaf to Mrzla gora.

I was on Skuta yesterday from Logarska dolina through Turski žleb. At 9am, when I put on my backpack, it was still shady at the hut under Rinka waterfall and only 6°C. In short sleeves it was a bit cold at the start. But when I went past the waterfall the sun was already shining on it and short sleeve was almost too much. The path to the top was really pleasant. Protections are in solid condition everywhere. Since mists started appearing I hurried a bit to have a clear summit. When I arrived panting at the summit at 11:30am the chasing mists made it even nicer. Descent nice too. Below Turski žleb I shortened the path straight down over fairly fine scree. It's really a pleasure, although legs get a bit numb.
Edina, no snow, because during the last deterioration it didn't fall here at all.
Nice regards from under nice Mozirska planina, Janez.

Edina23. 09. 2009 21:49:56

Thanks, Janez. I hope the weather stays favorable for a while and that I visit Skuta and Mrzla gora in KSA, this week I'm wandering around the Karavanke.

On Saturday I went from Log. valley through Turski žleb to Skuta, back over Turska gora to Kamniško sedlo and back to Log. valley. Paths and protections are OK. I recommend (at least for the path through Turski žleb) gloves, as the cables are quite cold in the morning.

Hello

I'd like to do a loop tour on 27.06, in one day, if the weather is nice:

- Kranjska koča na Ledinah (start at 6 a.m.)
- Križ - Koroška Rinka
- Skuta
- Dolgi Hrbet
- Češka koča

How long (approx.) does such a tour take?
Is the path anywhere very demanding or dangerous (snowfields)?

Thanks for answers and suggestions.
Nice day
Jure

This tour takes 8-9 hours at a moderate pace. But if you're alone or with someone who can go faster, it will take less. The path is very demanding most of the time (especially the path to Skuta and over Dolgi Hrbet), so don't forget the via ferrata kit and helmet. There's still snow on the path now, so best ask 3 days before for the exact conditions.

antik2. 06. 2010 05:53:58

I'd do the loop tour on Sunday, 27.06, but the day before, on Saturday 26.06., we'd sleep in
Kranjska koča na Ledinah. I'm also interested approximately how long it takes from Jezersko (where we'd leave the car) to Kranjska koča na Ledinah (past Češka koča)?

grahelj2. 06. 2010 10:13:23

From Jezersko probably 3.5 hours. But it's worth driving to Ravenska Kočna valley and parking at the end of the valley at the cable car station. From there 2.15 to Ledin via Češka koča.

Do you really have to drive the car all the way to the wall? From Planšarsko Lake to the end of Ravenska Kočna it's a very nice walk. You guys are some kind of hikers. Grahelj, don't you think that sometimes it's already almost hard to hike in the valley because of numerous "hikers" who drive with cars to the cable car?

grahelj2. 06. 2010 20:26:53

It's true but if the path is long it shortens the tour. Otherwise I fully agree with you. I myself didn't drive to the station last year because the tour was short.

Yesterday we climbed the south gully of Skuta. The route itself completely dry. Otherwise there's still quite some snow on Skuta. West path - steep part of the notch dry, further towards Veliki Podi softened snow, here and there ice underneath - careful. East side above Mali Podi - lower ledge, slabs still under snow, on Streža it looked dry. Definitely ice axe needed for this variant, crampons if harder.
