Does anyone know about the newly made path to Storžek and Ledinski vrh? Regards.

Guest21. 07. 2007 07:04:41

Storžek?

Guest21. 07. 2007 09:09:34

Storžek is a peak near Ledinski vrh, only it's not on the maps. About new paths I don't know anything either.

Guest21. 07. 2007 14:00:35

For Storžek it's best to check the Austrian alpine association pages, maybe they mention making a new path to it (as far as I know Storžek has been visited for a long time).

To Ledinski vrh there's already a nice marked path for a long time and I don't know why they'd make a new one?

Guest31. 07. 2007 12:38:15

To Storžek leads a secured climbing path, seemed quite demanding to me, although here (http://www.planinci.at/poti/poti_koroska.htm) it says it's easy zmeden

Thanks for the kindness.

Yesterday we set off to our very dear Kamnik-Savinja Alps to Storžek. For the starting point we chose Belsko Kočna on the Austrian side, where a small surprise awaited us. Probably due to forest road construction under Goli vrh (detonations from blasting) and large amounts of wood at the usual parking, the road closure has been moved more to the valley start, resulting in some more flat walking. The morning was quite fresh, later even on top very hot. On the path practically only one small flat snowfield. The path goes past a spring with cold drinking water and collapsing hunter's hut around which a real flower garden. Although from the valley Storžek looks like a distinctly sharp peak, the ascent is not overly demanding. The protections are in good condition, we still recommend helmet and self-belay kit. Views from the top to the entire Kamnik-Savinja Alps wonderful. On the way home, as always we stop at Jezersko at Planšarsko lake, where we refresh properly in pleasant shade...

I'm curious what the conditions are like towards Storžek

Was about a week ago in these parts:
http://www.turni-klub-gora.si/~frances/razmere/ - Ledinski vrh from Belska Kočna (27.5)
Definitely still some snow in the cirque, in the gully itself - climbing part I think shouldn't be much. If it's accidentally ''snow-covered'' you still have Ledinski vrh as reserve.

Today we were on Storžek from Belska Kočna direction. Path is dry (just one 10m snow patch on flat, no problem). Climbing section completely dry too, fixed gear in good condition.

zipo15. 08. 2010 00:13:47

I'm wondering if I can climb Storžek without harness and self-protection kit and how the path compares to that on Brana or Ojstrica (not Kopinškova).

lepenatka15. 08. 2010 08:33:33

You can go without protection, but only for experienced, and you never know. Cables quite loose. Lower part more demanding but well protected, upper bit tricky, especially when wet, because soil in between. Stones loosen too. Helmet mandatory.
Much more demanding than Brana or Ojstrica...short and nice...

Jože.21. 07. 2011 21:27:34

Today to Storžek - first time. From cargo cableway, via Slovenian path, past Kranjska hut, to Jezersko saddle, descent over scree and via ferrata path, which doesn't seem overly demanding to me, to the top. No wind, stay quite a while on summit, also on neighboring Ledinski vrh which I step onto returning to valley. Nice morning tour.

Last year I went to Storžek directly along the ridge from Jezersko saddle. Up you can climb, but down it's a bit harder... nasmeh

Edina1. 10. 2011 16:05:23

Jožeta or nata24 (or someone else), please provide a description of the access to the start of the secured path to Storžek from Jezersko saddle, because I found only a description from Belska Kočna. Thanks.

lynx1. 10. 2011 17:15:34

Storžek is that little bump right on the left (further left Ledinski vrh, in background Babe). Opposite Ledinski vrh. But you have to descend a bit towards Belska Kočna (on the eastern side).

Edina1. 10. 2011 18:28:30

... yeah looking at Jožeta's photo no. 16, left or right?

lynx1. 10. 2011 19:03:40

right around.

ben1. 10. 2011 20:17:26

@Edina: you have to go to Savinjsko sedlo, then down towards Belska kočna, a bit below on the rock is the Klettersteig sign!!

Regards B

Edina3. 10. 2011 08:55:32

Thanks everyone for the answers.
The trail is without special features and well maintained.
The summit is indeed somewhat less known, so uncrowded, also not enough space on it for crowds. nasmeh

Views can thus travel peacefully to surrounding and more distant peaks. velik nasmeh

... along Dolgi hrbet towards Koča. Did you know that many years ago our golden alpine skiers trained here under Skuta?

... and between it and Babami view on Košuta ridge.

On the locally narrow ridge we can climb to the cross.

The mentioned ridge limits view from top to Belsko Kočna.

Storžek looks like this before turning back at Savinjsko sedlo.

Despite the forecasted Thursday weather worsening, I still decided to visit Storžek. The path to Savinjsko sedlo without special features, to Storžek without ice axe I couldn't ascend. Almost all cables under snow, deeply frozen, had to dig them out with ice axe. The path leads up the gully, which is tricky in mud, but with snow in it really problematic. Now it's clear why Austrians wired almost to the top.
At the summit breathless, views super, no one around, and thinking this way, I had this part of KSA mostly to myself today.
