Regarding the last picture, 39... Does that dashed mark between Vrtača, Grad and Svačica indicate some path, is it passable? Or just the state border?

Sorry, I misread. Dashed is state border. Pardon.

DVas, that line represents the state border.

What's the path like if you wanted to go to Grad and then to Stol from Vrtača?

Is crossing the ridge even possible?

Grad is really wild and crumbly.
From Svačica to Stol along the ridge, it's ZZ pathless, good to have rope, as there are plenty of bolts on exposed spots.

Today 6.7. with better half to Stol via Trat via climbing route.
The weather forecast was good for today, the path was quite visited. No peculiarities, except someone did a big necessity by the path (could be smelled even climbing under the crime scene) and left wiping papers visibly. Could hide that under bushes at least. 
Plans more ambitious, to climb Celovško špica and maybe Svačica, but weather crossed plans. Above 2000m on upper path to Stol closing in, from ridge exit strong wind. With fog and wind veto on further climbs, unreasonable to push pathless especially first time.
End at nice Celovško hut for lunch. Windy there too, not too sorry for shortened tour.
All in all, good day  . Better weather next time.

Today up via Žirovnica. Not much snow, crampons only from Mali Stol up, preventively so conditions still very good now

Road closed to traffic with a sign, you go on dry ground roughly to the middle, then snow and increasingly slippery. Saw traces that two even drove into the ditch and some struggled with the car. Got to the asphalt at the junction because I have good tires. Took poles and crampons, but on the Žirovnica path didn't need crampons. At the top cold and windy, met one more who was already descending.

Yesterday through Završnica valley, past Tinčkova hut, over Zagon to marked path and up to the top. Snow up to half a meter, icy in places, cold wind blowing. Interestingly, least wind right at the top. Descended past Valvasor.

Another great report. Lots of useful info!
Apropos picture 17. If you had done the profile earlier, would you still continue up the gully on that base? Or can you reliably assess stability with the stability test and if that crusty layer would hold?
Just curious from a beginner's perspective, so pls take the question purely that way  . Namely, only last winter after the course I started with (easier) winter tours. Now slowly progressing and gathering info.

@Trobec yes we did meet, so far away that I saw only your silhouette on the ridge of Little Stol.

It felt like it... didn't meet others from that direction 
Tomco, for more reliable data you need more profiles, as the base can change quickly. In this specific case I continued, the upper crusty layer withstood quite a lot of force. But turned back just a couple of meters higher, when the snow became loose and unbonded and I would have had to posthole up to my ass if I wanted to continue in those fairly unfavorable conditions. General avalanche danger is 2... but locally it can of course increase. In such conditions I prefer not to take risks
