Which ascent?

Nice greeting
Generally, I'm interested, without boasting, which ascent are you "proud" of? That you conquered it, I mean the peak. So that you can say I managed to climb there??

Uh, tough question. Each period in life brings some "proud achievement". At the moment I'm most proud of the ascents we did "as a family" with our younger daughter, after her leg injury, three years on crutches, seven operations, near amputation etc. Now she's happily conquering 2000ers too nasmeh.
Personally I'd count as achievement the highest summit conquered (then still with borrowed crampons and ice axe) Grossglockner. But nowadays I often remember with mixed feelings my ascents from early teens (Prisojnik via Kopiščarjeva, Mala Mojstrovka via Hanzova etc.), which we did with a classmate... we didn't even dream of helmets and self-belay sets... we just went... maybe the proverb holds that youth is folly zmeden

Veliki Oltar. It happened that a bigger stone broke off on the way and from then on terrible fear gripped me and in the end I was really glad that I succeeded. To reach the top and of course back velik nasmeh

I still don't know how, after many pathless routes where there was no protection, I'm still here among you. Especially I remember three that stayed deep in me. Like those two teens in the tent, we systematically conquered everything in sequence that we reached by public transport and what was offered to us then. Above all, the ascent via Hanzova to Prisojnik was completely on the edge, where in 87l there were no fixed protections and we preferred holding rocks to rusty, hanging and rarely used, rusty wire ropes. Above Hudičev steber, above lojtra I decided to cross the wall itself to the ledge, buddy went by the path. Well the wall first gave good, solid holds (upper part of the mountain is from old rock), later the wall became steeper and steeper, climbing. A hold breaks on my right hand, footholds weaker, left luckily still holds. Alone in the middle of the wall, deep below spruce tops. For a moment unease grabs me, then spiritual turnaround into depths of self - pull yourself together and don't think of anything, concentrate and carefully, subtly forward. Friend already watches me from the ridge above and holds his head from that rock that flew into the valley. Give me peace, I tell him! I climb a bit left, a bit right to find missing holds, climb up, friend pulls me with hand over the top ridge edge. Felt like being born a second time. Next such, but easier case was when we climbed over Taška right over steep grass to Kalška gora, where both due to steepness, despite firm hold on undergrowth, slid like spiders downward. Nothing else helped then but to speed on all fours, like a cat climbs a tree when scared, so that we reached firmer ground below us. And that January hike to Stol when the north wind had such force that despite lying on ground it lifted us, so that as 12-year-old I grabbed the trouser leg of the one in front. Interesting was also descent from Vel. Martuljška Ponca (approach easy), where as always first with nose for passages safely brought buddy, who was always a bit weaker downward, to the upper scree under the wall. After all that we turned to nearby Mala Ponca, where we hit 8m rock blockage and piton with weathered end of rope. Fed up I sniff passage left and right in the gully reaching saddle 2450m high. Could describe more but Rok on Hribi net would already look sideways at me. Lp-Rok

As elementary schoolgirl I stuck to brother and his mountaineering club, but they didn't take us kids to high mountains. Then family, building, children - many know such story. Mature years brought more time, and also dissatisfaction with health, kilos and fitness. Love for mountains that never died reignited with husband's support. Patiently he followed me, week by week raising altitudes and difficulty, overcoming my strong fear of heights. All tours were beautiful to me, special feeling gave my first ascent of Triglav two years ago (due to altitude) and this year Jalovec, when we did the tour easily and equally fit in one day. (And I have 25kg less, not only from physical activity but also changed diet.) Now I just wish health serves us further too.
Viharnik, I read such things with interest, probably not alone. Maybe a "memories blog" could be created?

I think I'm not the only one who due to frequent venturing among summits experienced beautiful moments, sometimes full of trials in mountains. Many have way more such up their sleeves than just me. But these are personal reports that temper the individual and give important imprint to experiences and intuitive correct behavior in mountains when surprises come, be it weather, path length, route difficulty, on-site feeling and assessment what man can still do in given circumstances etc. All that our mountain companions who experienced somewhat less in mountains can read in the instructive book by Pavla Šegula DANGERS IN MOUNTAINS. Above all my life path led from martial arts as base forward to always yearning spiritual world, into which as child I always firmly believed, where I'm so to speak as representative of man (not divine messengers gurus or high rare true incarnations on earth) so to speak at home. I was also in last life Buddhist monk - saw in sleep like a film, which is given to few (strong souls) to see, but only with awakening of Kundalini energy (primordial energy of divine Mother in each of us - sacral bone), which later enlightens, before cleans all dirt of our higher centers all to crown chakra Sahasrara on top of head, where our spirit connects with infinite creator. In Kundalini energy, which in unawakened man sleeps and only pulses maintaining organ function, all our past lives are recorded. Many charlatans in this field, many also from India. Look in detail on website Sahaja yoga Slovenia, where you'll be informed of entire divine system working in each of us with help of primordial mother Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi, last divine incarnation after Jesus on this world. Lp from seeker and mountaineer Rok!

It's true, every long-time mountaineer individually would surely have a very interesting "memories blog"...
