South Ridge of Stador

Starting point planina Krnica, then along the marked path to extensive snowfields under "Wengnom" in Krnica valley. There I turn left and spot a barely noticeable path right away, which takes me first to wide slopes below Mali Stador, staying all the time below the cliff edge and reaching a nice grassy ledge that leads to a scree rim. There I turn right uphill and stick to the ridge all the time, after a few tens of meters the scree ends, followed by grasses and individual rocks. The initially gentle slope gets steeper and steeper, the ridge narrows. No real climbing here yet, more walking with the help of an ice axe on steep grasses. Followed by some exposed short traverses, and some short sections of climbing over short rock steps. Soon I am at the first summit in the ridge, Sklep (2136), big cairn there. I continue along the ridge to unnamed point 2161. Then some short descent, then ascent again, quite exposed on both sides, east towards Krnica valley, west towards Skripe. Whether I reached Veliki Stador I don't even know, as everything is quite similar. But I turned, returned towards Sklep and descended in the SW direction. Peter Podgornik in Primorske stene describes this descent as follows: "reach 2161 meters high summit from which runs towards SW-Škripe descent-access route (for rare connoisseurs Ski route)".

Descent requires great care, as slope constantly around 45 degrees, grasses, and here and there piled stones. But below nice passage to steep snowfield, where I used crampons.

I then continued descending all the time below walls to entrance of Gorenje Prehode, where once in winter I was when paraglider crashed up there, and continued on hunter path towards Krnica valley and off-trail to planina.
