Srednji vrh (1853 m)

Snow starts quite soon, but up to about 1500 m.a.s.l. there's little of it and no problems with trampling. On Dolga njiva it's mostly blown down to the grass and that's exactly where it was blowing the hardest today (more precisely, like a pig velik nasmeh

). At the hut in the shelter I changed socks and put on thick woolen ones, no joke with the cold. zadrega

Real winter conditions start right after Dolga njiva. Suddenly much more snow, but it held the weight nicely. There were tracks of predecessors, someone sank nicely in the previous days nasmeh

. Somewhere halfway between Dolga njiva and the summit we put on crampons. All the way to the top the snow was excellent for walking.

Cold all the time, on top around -8°C and the wind was also pulling quite strongly, so no lingering up there. But two ravens weren't bothered, one was quite tame. nasmeh

Views of course great.

For the way back from Dolga njiva crampons in the backpack and small spikes on - ideal for gentle descent along the trail through the forest.]]>

Snow conditions on the slope below the summit.

Awkward posing on the summit. :) Storžič and Košuta peaks have received nice snow caps.

...so then below in the lee they finally got theirs.

The entire snow-covered forest path from ~1250 m to Dolga njiva has a hard base and small spikes are highly recommended. From Dolga njiva onwards gaiters and good will nasmeh

- today the snow didn't hold yet, wallowing all the way to the top. Towards the top a crust of a couple cm started forming, so conditions might change to harder in the next days.

May it continue like this and we'll have a much better winter than last year. mežikanje
