Anyone have info on conditions over ferrata to Great Baba?
Snow?
Thanks!

Yesterday we were on Ledinski vrh. We saw some of them on Baba. Rudijeva vertikala is dry.

Yesterday on all Babas. Did the tour: Ravenska Kočna-Jenkova planina-Goli vrh-Jenkova planina-Mala Baba-Great Baba (both peaks)-Jezersko sedlo-Ledinski vrh-Jezersko sedlo-Vodine-Slovenska-Ravenska Kočna. Nice tour, quite some hikers, especially on Goli vrh and Great Baba. All paths dry. Conditions almost summer hot with great views. Especially impressed by the view from Goli vrh. Nothing special to Mala Baba. Path along ridge very exposed and crumbly, quite adrenaline-packed. Well marked and traceable, requires max caution and cool head, even one peg on the path (for stepping up) jezik

No stamp on Ledinski vrh anymore, someone took it as souvenir it seems. Views very nice and tour done too.

Some scrambling is needed here, both peaks above.

The most awkward is the passage around that leaning rock.

Activity on both summits, Mala Baba on the right.

For year end once more to Great Baba. Conditions really wintery, to hut on Ledine through Žrelo no issues, from hut on all to Rudijeva vertikala mandatory crampons and ice axe, Rudijeva vertikala dry and normally passable to summit, with snow patches that sink in. From summit path continues towards Jenkova planina, but path becomes more demanding again due to snow on ridge. Weather really nice, so we can still hike around like this,... nasmeh

Ledine and Baba yesterday....

What are the current conditions on the path via the vertical?

I assume winter gear is mandatory, especially from Ledine to Rudijeva vertikala. Lots of snow from Ledine and Češka koča upwards. But it is probably possible to reach V. Baba via the ridge.

Goli vrh and Velika Baba. Path without peculiarities.

Hello,

please provide information if the path through Jenkova planina is dry? Thanks for the answer.

Regards

palček plezalček16. 06. 2016 17:59:52

Yes.

Is winter gear needed if I continue the trail over Jezersko sedlo towards Ledinski vrh and Kranjska koča na Ledinah?

Pankrt17. 06. 2016 00:17:54

A good week ago there was still loads of snow on the Austrian path - the whole gully was still covered...

goginho217. 06. 2016 17:51:35

Is there any special / difficult-to-cross snowfield on the path from Češka koča to Kranjska and then to the top of Baba?

Pankrt18. 06. 2016 19:49:53

No.....

goginho218. 06. 2016 22:27:18

It's true, checked. They advised to avoid the Žrelo on the path from Češka to Ledine. There are snow fields, but all passable without issues.

Hello,

if I understood correctly, then from Češka koča to Ledin there are still some snow fields, but are they passable also without winter gear? Or does anyone know what the conditions are like on the Slovenska to Ledin and then at (descent) over Jezersko sedlo?

Thanks in advance.

goginho222. 06. 2016 19:59:43

the snow is southern-facing and doable without winter gear. But true also that snow is now melting fast and snow fields are getting smaller and maybe some can even be bypassed...

coffee25. 06. 2016 17:52:43

Today from Jezersko to Velika Baba via Vertikala and descent to Jezersko via the ridge to Mala Baba.

Past the start of Slovensko direkt to Žrelo, where you have to cross a bigger tongue, but no problem without winter gear. Entry to Žrelo still somewhat snowy, plus the first fixed rope is torn at the start. Then another small patch of snow on the ascent. In the climbing section to Baba there's another shorter tongue, for which no gear is needed, and after exiting Vertikala another patch.

28.6. I did the route via Jenkova planina and along the ridge to Baba. Descent to Austrian side and then via scree to Jezersko sedlo and up to Ledinski vrh. Then to Ledine and down hunting trail to valley. Whole route without issues, snow patches no problem, ridge to Baba attractive as always. Lp.

In the morning I walked from Ravenska Kočna along the Slovenian to Ledine, then via climbing continued to Baba, descended and continued to Ledinski vrh then via Jezersko sedlo and Ledine along hunting back to start. On the mentioned path still a bit of snow, but no issues while walking.
