Time has come to refresh five-year-old notes and yesterday I head out on this path. I park at Prodi, pay tenner and wait for the van that picks me up a bit after four Drops me at the penultimate stop. Still a bit sleepy and confused, because I don't know where I am, since I didn't check before where this stop is. About half hour I wander up and down the asphalt road looking for the entrance to bivouac two. Didn't find it. I opt for one of the paths that through fallen trees and nettles somehow gets me to the right path. It was also starting to dawn and not every cow was black anymore.
Well, super. Lost almost an hour, as if I left Dovje at five and not four. Up everything smooth, first stop at Brinova glava, time for breakfast. Higher the steps in steep grass are well visible, also some scree sections I cross without much effort, since I walked in shade at least to the height of Lower Šplevta. Below Grlo I change to long clothes, leave poles and put on helmet. The cairns pleasantly surprised me, someone stacked them very sensibly, view to little Altar opens after less than twenty minutes. I take pics, pics and pics. What if it's the last time here? The gully cutting Altar is always deeper, so better cross it as low as possible, because depth increases with height. All the way to the top I enjoyed the climbing, here fewer cairns (or I didn't see them), but lots of scree on rocks, which especially on descent requires full concentration.
On top in no wind I enjoy endlessly, look around lonely neighboring peaks, only on VMP some life. Skim through the book, find myself 10x, flags (which I don't like) I left alone, also the half-burnt stick I don't know what it represents. Probably was a cross once.
As said, down to Grlo with 110% concentration, also climb the steep bit above it, since time despite morning mishaps doesn't rush me. Then down to clothes that dried completely meanwhile and along the connecting path to the start of Dovški križ. The path to it, except a few spots doesn't represent much more than a bit more demanding walk, Upper Kopica 2399m tempted me too, since I descended from it here already, but not ascended yet, but knees sent signal 'cool it a bit' Here I stay even longer than on Altar, eye reaches nowhere a living soul, not even sheep on Šplevta. But I walk to this grassy hillock alone when I want to take some more pics, find out mobile is empty. Unfortunately the charger I had failed too and in a moment I was in pre-mobile era I did count a bit that at least someone in bivouac two, to call home, but it was empty too.
After four I board the bus and only from Dani I call ours...
