Everyone will know best themselves and which paths they can handle and in what conditions???. At 8am on 2000m in Austria +3°C, at 10h +6, at 12h even +10°C, here even a tad warmer. Source - Lienzer Hütte webcam.

it was good to go from kredarica to triglav - has the snow softened a bit or not, crampons grip well?

thanks

Dominic17. 03. 2012 15:44:12

No problems, in the afternoon it was probably already a bit soft but everyone got down without issues.

Also today a wonderful day. Real processions to Kredarica and to the top. In the afternoon Kalvarija to Zg. Krma softened a lot, so on some spots already sinking through. Lower part hard and icy (though it was already March 15th, winter gear - crampons - still very useful).

In the afternoon sun they have bitten into Kalvarija.

Let me add some pics from yesterday's visit to daddy too.

I don't remember the tower's foundations ever being exposed in mid-March

The view towards Staničeva koča is only a bit more realistic for this time of year

Goličica, Germlajt, Kanceljni and Prevčev stolp

In the background Montaž - Viševa group, in front left Oltarji, Briceljk and Morež, in the middle Pelci

In the back Kanin range with Žrd, in the middle Bavški Grintavec and Srebrnjak

Despite ideal weather, the ridge towards Mali Triglav was rimed.

Križ, Gubno and Dovški Gamsovec, in front Stenar

Around Planika there is already a lot of bare ground

Last week the approach to Triglav summit was filmed. Actual snow conditions in the mountains well visible.

To Triglav with a young future rescuer and we went. From Trenta at dawn. First on mulatjera to below Skok, there we tried gully first but almost dry so classic entry to "Plaz". Snow excellently frozen, all passages nicely snow-covered except last to "valley" below Mornegno. There short gully left and higher crossed back to "valley" under Morbegno. That the sun greeted us right there is needless to say, continuation was a pleasure walking on virgin snow fields of the western Triglav plateau. Entry into wall to Bovec notch steep, gully nicely snow-covered and already "trodden" with poles, which allowed us easy ascent. Above Bovec notch we took off crampons, as "slab" of daddy dry. Put them on again about 10 min below summit. View fantastic, followed half hour rest, small bite, then back down. We walked also to B.Z.T.P, sat a bit more. Then down to Koča na Doliču, of course via winter crossing. From there into cirque below Dolič and over Komar to valley (still quite some snow in gullies). Meanwhile I got message that friends from Italy on Saturday at parking in Krma found chain of yellow metal with cross. They want to return it to owner, attaching pic, contact 031636241 (Joško).

The gully is poorly snow-covered, therefore classic entry to Plaz.

The old Kugy path also crosses Plaz (nice description in the latest PV).

Half-cleared grapca to the left, nice passage.

Triglav, pristine white meadows and sunshine.

There are not exactly many visitors here.

I have a big desire to go to Triglav at the end of April nasmeh

I'm interested in opinions, gear, avalanche danger?
Thanks nasmeh

ljubitelj gora5. 04. 2012 11:03:41

If you haven't been up there yet or have no experience with winter ascents, then better join someone who is going up in April and has already been to the top in winter time. The path to Kredarica is not difficult, there are no fixed protections and it's trodden a few days after snowfall (provided there isn't a lot of new snow; with a larger amount of snow, there's also avalanche danger to Kredarica, most accidents happen precisely at level 2 and 3, at level 4 anyway no one is seen in the mountains, avoid days with strong wind gusts, call Kredarica), you need crampons, ice axe and helmet, the ascent from Kredarica to Triglav is very demanding. If you're not sure, better go up in dry conditions, now there's also strong sun, southern snow and it can quickly sweep you away, plus you can get slips on crampons which are very dangerous even if you have plastic underneath. The best is snow that is firm and frozen so crampons and ice axe grip really well. What winter ascents do you have behind you? Others will tell you too, you can also write to IgorZlodej.

Jernej, April is quite a moody month weather-wise. Triglav can serve you all weather phenomena then. Gear accordingly. If no high mountain winter experience, advise against ascent zavijanje z očmi

without company.

Hello,

the thing is that I've been to Triglav many times but always in summer, read without snow. Lately I'm somehow more and more into winter tours. So I'm interested how it is with ascents there say beginning of May, especially since days are warmer and snow probably melts during the day so what such ascent looks like then, (on snowy and icy parts I get crampons and ice axe come into play velik nasmeh

). What do you think would healthy sense be problem to get up with practically zero winter ascent experience?.. Guide dunno if seems sensible in such time (of course in nice weather case) fitness no problem velik nasmeh

Thanks for possible replies, thanks.

lynx13. 04. 2012 23:09:15

Oh, better learn on easier tours.
This is alpine ascent.
Warnings not exaggerated.

bluenik13. 04. 2012 23:16:30

What recommendations how smartest to start?..saw those courses but dunno, thought almost better with one guide on such tour then he tells you all along way and test directly in practice. From your reply conclude even May quite tough up there?

Zebdi13. 04. 2012 23:26:08

Best and smartest start definitely alpine school. Rest just approximations mežikanje

ljubitelj gora13. 04. 2012 23:41:15

How to start, start slow choose easier winter tours but advise against solo in winter, if want we have FB group can add you write PM. Triglav can be tough esp ascent Mali Triglav, early start Mali Triglav or high clouds negative temp. 3x up this year or 4x Kredarica but wouldn't tire, even 40x Kredarica this year someone said how can 3x up this year also Skuta 3x last 8 months velik nasmeh

so what like walking. Almost sure among members least theoretically equipped while many ascents behind no courses so bit pessimistic winter tours practice yes theory issue good to know. What do I know? Now no pull alpine school costs 250eur + gear + fuel (far from city)...
