On Saturday, 24.11.2012, I also treated myself to a "winter" visit to Triglav. As I'm more of a solitary type, I chose the Kot valley as my starting point.
Conditions are as follows: Kot is of course forgotten by the sun in winter time, but the road is completely OK; namely, in Krma it is supposed to be quite damaged from the last floods. Up to around 2000nm it is dry, somewhere from Debeleg kamen onwards, traces of snow appear that cover the marks, so a bit more attention is needed for orientation; otherwise, there are not many options, so the path can definitely be found.
To the Stanic hut it is a bit more snowy; for the approach I did not need crampons and ice axe, but I put them on the way from the Stanic hut to Kredarica. Since this part was a first for me, I went more "by feel", a bit up and down until I reached the path that comes Over the threshold.
At Kredarica it was phenomenal, suitable for sunbathing in short sleeves. Let me note here that the path from Krma, according to others, was almost dry to the top.
The approach to the Summit via Mali Triglav is always quite demanding; some cables stick out, but there are several passages that require a clear head and calm nerves; there is not much snow, it is loose, so crampons and ice axe do not grip very well; in addition, you often step with crampons directly on the rock, which of course prevents a secure step. The path from Mali Triglav onwards is OK. The summit as always wonderful, with a generous adrenaline view.
Of course, more than the ascent, the descent is adrenaline-filled. Unprotected traverses are like climbing a gutter on a high building. Extreme concentration, caution and a firm step are needed.
As a reward, a beer at Kredarica and return along the same path back to Kot.
Eight-hour tour, 5000 kCal expenditure, adrenaline pleasures....
Cheers to all, M.
