I'm interested in the conditions on Velika Baba?
From which direction do you usually start or recommend it;
Goli vrh-Jenkova planina-Mala baba-Velika baba-Ledine or reverse

I think it's better to go up via Jenkova planina and down via Ledine.

The summit ridge from Mala Baba onwards is quite crumbly and exposed! The condition of the passage via the secured climbing path to Ledine, check with the Krničars at Češka koča. Good luck - Rok.

In case of impeccable ferrata to V Baba from Ledine, it's safer in terms of safety (self-belaying), then on the same return over Sedlo pod Babo (for experts), descend to Belska Kočna, then up circularly back to Jezersko sedlo and to the same starting point.

If you go via Jenkova pl., it's definitely worth going to Goli vrh, though off the path to Baba. Beautiful view. I went in this direction over Baba to Ledine. That cable from Baba seemed interesting, routed straight down. Definitely a nice circular tour.

From Ledin the climbing path is quite exposed, especially before the rock where paths join (via Jezersko sedlo), long almost direct climb - that cable straight down.
Otherwise all secured, pegs and cables.
Via Jezersko sedlo descent and ascent, up and down.

Went through the album to check when I did this tour. 10.10.99 no digital yet. Exactly from that cable I have a pic, unfortunately I'm on it too, not interesting for public. Really nicer pics with mountains, flowers, animals.

On Sunday to V.Baba from cargo cable thru Žrelo (hard snow, caution) to Ledine, then secured path to Baba. Protections excellent  From V.Baba ridge to M.Baba (quite crumbly) then to Jenkova planina and to valley.
Tour first class!!
Few pics of protections waiting to bring you to summit.

I've already gone to Velika Baba from two directions - from Jenkova planina - easy and from Ledin, to saddle and down Austrian side on scree to the peak. Definitely the tour from Jenkova planina is easier. If it's a circular tour, regardless of which side you start from the difficulty is the same. Ferrata from Ledin is more demanding, but I haven't done that direction yet - planning this summer.

From Jenkova planina is probably an easier tour than from Ledin. But it's not undemanding!

Sunday, day of rest and relaxation, and I learned that fog is only in Ljubljana, elsewhere warm sun is already shining cheerfully. 15 min later already at Janez's, direction Jezersko. Then along Slovenska to Ledine and via the climbing path to the top of Baba. The aids are in good condition, the wall was dry. At the top of course warm sun, which we then used a bit lower for half-hour sunbathing. Great tour.

Is 5 hours of walking enough for this tour in principle?
Were you two fast (excluding the half-hour sunbathing)?
|

| Tadej25. 10. 2008 11:12:32 |
For the ascent 5 hours is more than enough, but if you mean round trip then you have to be very fast.

If I'm not mistaken, from the cable car the marked path is 1.5 hours to the hut at Ledine, from there another as much on this harder variant. If you go the easier variant past Ledinski vrh, it's even a bit longer. Janez and I walk quite fast, so I won't write how much we used because of additional comments.
Lp Andrej

Thanks to both. I'll probably save it for next year. But I still sneaked to Kokrško sedlo, where divine sun was shining, below fog as if cut off.

Yesterday my husband and I went on this path. From the valley to Kranjska koča along Slovenska is about 1.5 hours (it says 1 hour 40 min). From the hut to the top on the great climbing path it says 1.5 hours, but you have to go quite fast to make it in that time.

You'll understand more when you get the map Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe or Grintovci and/or some guidebook. Briefly:
To Jezersko sedlo b.p., follow the marks for Savinjsko sedlo, Ledine. At Jezersko sedlo (or a bit below) is the first turnoff for Baba, descent on scree to the saddle between Babas, then between slabs and bushes to a short ridge and to the top. Here and there some aid and a view into the depths, otherwise technically nothing special.
Something else is the secured path from Ledine over the crumbly wall of Ledinski vrh. Otherwise well secured path, attractive, but objectively quite dangerous. Recommended self-belay set, helmet MANDATORY. With possible snow patches also winter gear. For this variant you have to descend from Jezersko sedlo almost to Ledine, a bit before the hut turn right (follow marks). Technically much more demanding variant joins first at the aforementioned saddle between Babas or exactly at the saddle between Velika Baba and Ledinski vrh.
Otherwise for Baba I think better starting point is Jezersko or Ravenska Kočna. Unless you're from the Styrian end.

some yesterday's news about Velika Baba. With Janez we started from the cargo cableway on Jezersko. To Ledine via Slovenska. Protections are in good condition. Hut at Ledine still closed. Then we went via ferrata. Over the winter lots of scree accumulated on the path, plus need to cross some couloirs still full of snow. Recommend ice axe, as snowfields are quite steep. One is particularly nasty, snow covered with sand. Warning: cable torn in two places. Little before last vertical, cca 1.5m and at start of last vertical, think second pitch. Both sections passable normally. Below summit cross another small snowfield, summit fantastic view on surrounding peaks. Descended same path, then through gully to Czech hut. In gully lots of scree and again cable torn in two places, but passable normally. Other protections to Czech in good shape, but cross larger snowfield exiting gully. Footprints there, but safer with ice axe in hand. At Czech quite some ,,martinčkov,, and nice company I'll remember long.
Best to all and safe path,
Andrej, and of course Janez
