Some nice autumn glimpses from the middle of the path to Spik from start at Russian cross past hut in Krnica to Spik top. Descent same path. Path without special features. But needs quite some fitness. Views wonderful.

Nice mountaineering greeting.

Today on SPIK excellent winter conditions, snow starts around 1400m and holds well. Towards top lots of snow and good conditions for ice axing nasmeh

How much bare ground to Spik?

Aleš7526. 06. 2023 11:00:36

There's still a lot of snow, but it can be nicely bypassed. Lp

The nicer path seems longer to me, so I went up and down past the Krnica hut. The secured parts of the path (last picture-first part) are in order. The whole path is nice, but it ascends constantly - hard to imagine a different path to Spik. Advantage is to start early, then much of the path is still in shade. The summit logbook is full.

Afternoon after a short storm, heading to Špik. It thundered high up in the Škrlatica-Oltar area, waited lower down not far from the hut. I continue to Gamsova špica, visible path and sawn bushes, last short steep part and short ridge. I return to the marked path and then higher to Na glavah. I take a break, drink something and instead of going back head to Špik. Under Lipnica the cable is torn off, it pulls a bit more and consequently someone can fall a few meters out. I reach Špik quickly, views eek

.....and mists rushing there and back.

Maybe someone knows how it is with the cable that ljubitelj gora talks about?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The path is really closed, but it is normally passable (status as of 14.8. this year).

NejcGG25. 08. 2023 21:02:45

How's the path Hut in Krnica - Špik - Kačji graben? Is the path (already) passable? Has anyone been up after the floods?

Thanks for help and best regards!

lijaneja25. 08. 2023 21:55:13

The above mentioned path (cable) is open again since Monday. The Krnica hut keeper just removed the closure sign in my presence.

This afternoon (at 4pm) a military helicopter took off at least 2x (as long as I was there with family) from the meadow behind the parking lot at PP Kranjska Gora. As I heard from a nearby group's conversation, there was a rescue operation on Špik. Apparently they got lost... zadrega

Apparently this, apparently that. Spin says someone (not apparently) injured their leg. But to write that they apparently got lost and then press a smiley.. everything ok with you?

brett27. 08. 2023 08:00:35

Oh some people quickly latch onto a smiley... If you can't see it's a sour face, buy glasses! jezen

Hope you know what a sour face means...
I wrote what I heard and posted in info that something happened on Špik. You added the real cause and matter closed. Why attack someone right away?!
Safe steps everyone!

"Why attack someone right away?!"
Maybe because "apparently" causes the most damage. nasmeh

"brett" what did you want to say with your post? Bar talks are really objective info, sad.
But without "yellow" press even on this site it doesn't work anymore! velik nasmeh

Yesterday, 7.9. my colleague and I set off for sunrise on Špik. Started at Ruski križ at 1:30 past the hut in Krnica via Lipnica to Špik summit, caught sunrise at 6:30. nasmeh

From Lipnica summit about 15 min descent to junction for Kačji graben path and from there to top scrambling starts without any protections, steep terrain with lots of scree and crumbly. With proper caution and steps to summit (& back) no problem. Sunrise on top pure 10, breathtaking views. Descended via Kačji graben, start very pleasant with huge scree saving time and energy velik nasmeh

When path enters forest slog begins, lots of mud, slippery rocks, lots of blowdowns zavijanje z očmi

Reminded me of Kot valley eek

Closed nice loop of 14km. More in pics nasmeh

Yesterday first time on Špik, up Kačji graben, down Lipnica. Ascent doesn't seem anything special, relatively dry, steadily steep, scree bit tricky here and there. Summit part not demanding, careful on way back but same everywhere.
Lipnica really nice path, wonderful views, lower part over scree and torrents drags. Up 3.5 hours, down over 4 hours.
