Some more about today's event around the Kanin massif: At station D chamois have a shelter, met them on the way back. Anyway, started a bit above station B (last year did this path but not to Kanin top due to snow conditions, new snow, falling rocks) on the "marked" path, marks faded but path visible where it goes over rocks, cairns or not. To below Kanin wall, crossed several snow patches but small slope. Before climbing part put on crampons, took ice axe, obligatory helmet. Crossing snowy scree with gear saw someone went without. Trick in these snowpatches is ice below. Higher took off crampons, stowed axe. 1 snowpatch bypassed a bit, second one no other passages direct above pitons, there struggled a bit. Past it, higher cables then ledge to top. On ledge tons loose rocks, scree, sand waiting to slide direct onto path. F*ck cuz if it hits you even with harness no pitons no cable. Then reach top, peeked topo map, path from top Eastern ridge then down per topo. After some time back same route, scree hinders descent, luckily nothing fell. Scree cross again with axe then to D station. Crossing snowfields, one steeper other less, still there no big probs just more careful. Steepest under window, after climbing go under window ledge under Prestrelj. to top then back past D on track, scree on path plenty, walking bit tough esp up and back to start.
Conditions today like that, maybe in 1 week no snow on climbing. Some on forum locals under Kanin, some not close to know every sqm weekly what's up dangers etc, so was 14.7.
