Kolesar, your comment is funny.

Matej, great video. From what was seen, the conditions were a bit better than the next day.

good luck

Let me reply a bit. Regarding crazies... Last winter Oz in snow conditions I met Czechs up there in sneakers of course without crampons or ice axe.

This Saturday it was similar only they had some in easy Gojzars of course without crampons or ice axe. If they seem normal to you, they don't to me. Sorry if I mention anyone. But I have never met our people equipped like that.

Yeah watching live how they go up is one... how they come down is priceless in my opinion. You can't buy that even with Mastercard.

@IgorZ I think you should know where I got this ice axe. Well in the future you can check it out a couple hundred meters below the summit left behind the gate. And see if something can be tightened around the handle... nasmeh

Fuck it, I don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I just forgot mine at home...

Regards

Not current conditions but I hope to reach winter Triglav again sometime, so far 8x since 2012 between Dec-April.

Kolesar, it will be fine and you always have to carry it with the hand facing the slope. On more difficult places don't swing the ice axe in the air or around the head, but hold it ready with one hand or both at chest height, where you have the most power to hold it in the snow slope if slipping. On steep slopes the pick should always be close to the snow, so in case of slip immediately plant it with the body and make an immediate stop on the spot.

Janez Seliškar29. 10. 2015 21:07:00

Ice axe right-handers carry in the right hand when walking, left-handers in the left hand specifically so that the pick is turned back and slightly from the body. When turning, when walking in "traverses", do not switch the ice axe from hand to hand.

Maybe for You "BT88", for others it's education.

On Triglav it's slightly drizzling on the snowy base anyway.

Respect Mr. Janez but education and movement in such a world don't belong on the forum.

Thanks and Regards

To the last sentence you can only say- Again one new gumpec on the forum or he got tired of old nicknames and added a new one.
Grandma would say: 100 grannies-scrawny child

good luck

To interrupt this teasing a bit... I'd congratulate Franjo for his achievement, since this topic opened with it, regarding equipment for winter ascents I'd join the opinion that one must properly equip oneself for the ascent with crampons, ice axe, helmet etc. I too saw exactly Czechs the year before last who had neither poles let alone crampons or ice axe, let alone helmet, walking past Triglav saddle towards Triglav summit. I didn't scold, watched them astonished as they climbed behind me spending huge time per step since more than half a meter of snow. Didn't try to dissuade from ascent as I saw they wanted summit at any cost, so helped by trampling snow with crampons creating "steps" in the steepness. They reached summit and left even before me same way back to valley but didn't want to watch so waited till safely on flatter part then I went to valley. Scenario kept playing in head nonstop how I'd help if trouble on descent. Think I did right helping as I know sometimes summit desire beats reason so didn't interfere lecturing on mountain safety. Congrats again Franjo, safe ascents summer and winter to all other regular forum visitors.

Just for those interested... we were on Triglav today. Very varied conditions. In shade above Kredarica winter(srenec), little ice here and there, on path to Mali Triglav snow on path(southern), further bit mixed. In short along whole path snow of various "structures". Winter gear mandatory. Interesting some rush up so equipped it makes you sick... nice greeting and good luck all

Zadnjica - Luknja - Plemenice, path dry. Below ZTP, as already described there is some snow. If you don't strictly stick to the marked path it's possible to below the wall even without crampons, namely on dry rocks a bit around. At the start of the gully below Bovec Notch crampons are necessary, ice axe anyway belongs, as does helmet. From Notch onwards little snow, and that was south-facing, so to the top without crampons, but not without ice axe, which again is not rule, as last part fully snowed again. Everyone visiting mountains in such mix must know themselves when to use what.

Descended to BZTP and further to Dolič, then by mulatier to valley.
