Spik 20/9/2020

We parked at Russian Cross in the dark, as there was just enough space for one car. It started dawning, so we had no need for lights. But we noticed there's a big parking lot below and it's smarter to park there. Then we carefully crossed the stream and only got part of one sock wet in Suha Pišnica.

We continued past the hut in Krnica over Lipne prode "around the bend" and on to the ridge, where we put on helmets and stowed poles. Climb to first bump and spot the summit behind. Realize later it's not Spik summit. Then half hour of scrambling and you're there. On top they recently put up new trig point with logbook as it seems. Weather great, Spik one of most panoramic peaks so we took time, snacked, took pics and enjoyed.

We met few people on way up, maybe 10 on top. We started descent just after noon and only then some were coming up. First thought of descending Kačji graben, but craving coffee in Krnica and possibly less knee-straining descent same way won. Hut was full, she got coffee, I beer and half, then continued to car and home.

Today on Spik via Kačji graben.

At top of scree and higher some small snow that can't be avoided. Without ice axe I'd have turned back.

Tip: As soon as you think of using crampons, use them.

Yesterday 10.5. Spik was still far away. From Krnica dry, turned back a bit above Gamsova Špica. Under it concrete avalanche debris from recent rains, higher up looked still too soft to continue. Proper snow from Macesn below Gamsova, to there 2 steep snow tongues bypassed a bit lower or via scree.

A few days ago we climbed to Spik past the hut in Krnica and via Lipnica and returned on the path above Kačji graben. Path well marked and with care also normally passable. More at: https://www.gore-ljudje.si/Kategorije/Novosti/%c5%a1pik-1

Thanks for the reply.

Today up via Kačji graben. Snow starts when you get out of the forest (ca. 1900 m). Upper slope partly in shade and crampons are needed there. Rocks below summit are dry.

On Sunday 20.3. up and down via Kačji graben. Conditions good, snow hard, only in the lower part quite some caution needed on rocks because icy in places and dangerous for slipping.

Yesterday to Špik past the hut in Krnica. On the path still some snow patches that can be crossed with good measure of caution since snow soft and no trouble making steps. Kačji greben still well covered so wouldn't climb or descend it without winter gear. At the top beautiful sunny weather with wonderful views. Returned same path and stopped along the way for tasty lunch in Krnica. On the way to valley met only two guys and that was all I met yesterday. When I got to car at Russian cross first drops appeared, in Martuljek stopped at bus stop as thunderstorm covered Špik. Hope the two guys made it down in time.

There are no more snow patches past the hut in Krnica, there are still some snow patches over Kačji graben that can be crossed without problem without winter gear.

"nejckov"
"Past the hut in Krnica"?
Paths lead from the hut in Krnica, across the hut so far I haven't noticed any path.
Also Kačji graben is spelled with a capital letter.

Past the Koča in Krnica to Lipnica and from there on to Špik, down via Kačji graben. Weather nowhere near the forecast, not the first time like that. Paths o.k., snow above Kačji graben can be bypassed as desired. Wonderful, relatively long and "high" hike nasmeh

Up through Kačji graben, first to Frdamane police where I had some sun and quite nice views. When descending back to the junction for Špik the fog thickened again and on the top couldn't see a thing. Further to Lipnica it then opened more and downhill it got hotter. Stop at the hut in Krnica and then by road to the start. Path through Kačji graben is slippery in some parts under trees the sun doesn't reach (careful mainly downhill). Otherwise the path is well marked, except in the torrent bed at the start and before going down to Krnica. There cairns help.
