Today two AO-NM teams climbed the mentioned thing. The route disappointed me a bit, after all Mihelič's hymns of praise, as it's pure rubble. In Debelak's the rock is much better. Nevertheless, the route is Zaplotnik's, and obligatory for an alpinist like reading his Path. The middle part is quite demanding for orientation, but you can follow Mihelič nicely. We didn't, so instead of the praised IV+ slab in the eighth pitch, we climbed some slanted rightward upside-down rubble (pegs). The rest we somehow got right and topped out in a good six hours.
Pictures when I get home. (if I don't forget  )

At four in the morning up and once again to the Pillar. This time looking for a buddy who got stuck somewhere in the route. Didn't find the buddy's buddy, but climbed the route in 4:20h, so we were at the summit just after noon. If anyone finds this poor (wretch) butterfly, it's BD Camalot size 1 (red), with initials G.Š. on the "body", please contact me. As promised on another forum, a cold six pack and a liter of Tanov's frankinja await him.

Personally I like Debelak's route better. Since it's older there are not so many orientation puzzles as in the middle of the Pillar, even though the route zigzags much more. You just choose logical passages. Both are such classics that you simply have to climb them.
