Whenever I was driving around Gorenjska, Babji Zob was challenging me. I went up following the description (second time past the cave through the gully, abandoned(?) path) and both times arrived at some kind of promontory. That was supposed to be the summit. But that real spike sticking out from the hill was pulling me. I asked around a bit, but no one knew anything about accessibility. Today I rappelled down from the top (descender). In the notch I found a twisted new anchor, on the tooth summit itself an old one attached (one peg still has a ring). So I discovered warm water on Babji Zob. A "path" leads to the notch, of course I didn't know about it. Even now it's not clear to me: where it starts, if it's safe at all. Does anyone know anything about it - it was probably well done once. On top there's a jar with a logbook - one visitor per year. So the thing isn't that unknown, maybe hidden due to danger?
Back I climbed a bit, bushwhacked a bit. The thing isn't too tough, about 150m, some rock some vegetated ledges, not every stone holds.
It really interests me if anyone has done this - or how to get up more comfortably.

When I used to take the bus from Bohinj every day (in high school days), every year there was a YU flag on Babji Zob (if I remember right, for Nov 29). The army from Bohinjska Bela always took care of that. Which means the pinnacle was visited and there was a path up there. A local from Kupljenik would know best. I was once up in the cave with a classmate from Bela. We went with torches, and even then everything was trampled (stalactites).

miri, you completely missed the point... no hard feelings, it's about the pinnacle, accessible only by climbing, specifically 12m grade III, but the old worn rope helps too. short description: before you reach the anchors in the forest, take it straight up the gravel tongue (tiring) at the end of the gravel turn left and climb up the scree and grass (Trent II) to the notch from the notch 12 meters of climbing (medium difficulty...) lol, who am I kidding

I was wrong. Poorly read. Best regards

Of course I had to try from below too. I owed that to my friend who helped me carry the ropes and other gear in the fall. I won't make special ads for the tour, as it's not for everyone. Recommend helmet and ice axe - for dirt, grass and roots... Main problem is slippery rocks.
Short description:
Along the usual, described path from Kupljenik - at the signpost direction: Cave - along the trail to the scree (scree chute, gully) - up the left edge (better through forest) - when cliffs start right across the scree chute - above you notice aluminum braid (read: anchor, self-belay option) - along it to the notch and to Babji Zob Pinnacle.
