After more than 20 years back on Triglav! Hand on heart, Triglav has always resisted me due to too much crowds. Nicer view on Očak from surrounding peaks. But … 
Our youngster has wanted the summit for several years. He constantly drew Aljaž Tower, browsed lots of pictures and videos online, the biggest impression made by last year's documentary on 'pleh with soul'. So we looked for options and ways to fulfill his big wish: on our own, with guide, combination …
After three test tours in high mountains the solution to the 'problem' showed: father and son roped together. We even chose the 'right' date with nice weather (= as many hikers as possible), and for the icing on the cake the celebration of 120th anniversary of Triglav Hut got into our plans … 
As befits the first time, we chose Rudno polje as starting point, continued past Vodnik Hut to Kredarica. There everything was already prepared for the celebration, which we did not attend, as we wanted to gather as much energy as possible for the next (long) day.
I observed the situation on and below Triglav: from the top the last ropes of 100 women were descending towards Planika, from Kredarica still quite a few visitors ascending. Those returning were already a bit tired, equipped as if they had just come from some sports superstore: tight clothes in all colors and shades, sunglasses of cool brands, equipped from head to toe ... 
Well … since we did not attend the celebration ourselves, we at least followed the second part, called 'po domače', audibly right from the room: accordion and zithers, singers and drinkers; beer in vain cooled the heated throats. Avsenik, Slak, Mihelič, then Modrijani and other folk/popularized/beer ones raised the festive mood.
Next morning I got up already after 5, to take a short walk around the hut, the most persistent were already ascending towards Mali Triglav in the glow of headlamps. And I teased them a bit – with a laser 'pointer' with range up to 2 km, I shone on them a bit – even those on the top. In the dark the green beam of light was visible more than excellently …
After breakfast we geared up and slowly ascended to the top. In between short breaks, meetings at narrow spots, in short – classic. On the top as usual: photos, baptism, calling home etc. Descent also appropriately slow; on the way to Planika rocks tumbled down several times …
We finished our hike in the evening at the starting point. Guess who was more tired at the end?
