The weather, as forecast for Monday, was clear - had to make use of it  . Already on Friday I somehow decided that now it's Viševnik's turn, haven't been there in winter conditions yet   ... The desire to go up in the snow nagging my head for a looong time  , now finally it's happened too .
We started at Rudno polje quite late. Snow here still plenty... at least on the parking it looked cca. 1.5 or even 2m . Walking on the ski track nice in the shade , which is more welcome on descent. We walked alone but expected some tourer zigzagging in the white . At the ski slope soon felt summer heat, which accompanied us the whole way. Then it started sinking a bit , but still bearable  . Well, at the saddle amazing views open up... uff, how far the eye reaches .... tempts to end the ascent there, lie on snow and just enjoy ... We lingered there a bit, then pushed on. Heat quite summery, so we longed for some shade .... At the top saw two tourers, so just us three on foot at that time. But when we arrived after 2.5h at the top, we were alone.... and how nice that was . Not quite clear to me how towards Kačji rob everything is trodden  , since from the top the ridge is all cornices ... Enjoyed the sun and views, somewhat less listening to the rumbling and sliding of falling snow  . Most falling from Rjavina, some from Mali Draški Vrh too. After some good hour got company... 2 walkers - probably regular visitors, and one snowshoer. We all got a bit scared from that rumbling  . When I looked at Kredarica, found someone who went up there too, I assume a tourer. Well, around 13h we slowly headed down... Went okay to the saddle, then lower the more it sank ... hehe, especially me who isn't exactly slim .... Heat still unbearable. When we reached the ski slope, happily walked in the shade , so our faces somewhat cooled from the sunburn. Followed cca. 15 min walk to the start.
Finally reached Viševnik in winter conditions too . Want this many more times, basically just because thrilled by the whiteness in the mountains . Just waiting for those real winter conditions to finally use the big crampons too, which weren't needed this time. Had a super time again, hehe, always do.... mountains really rule .
