Darinka, sincere congratulations! Was this the one you wanted? I was sure you two had outgrown it, you just had awe for it. Good luck further on the Trentar hills.

Thanks to both. It's really not high. But it tempted me for many years. Height isn't important anyway. nasmeh

Actually, I wasn't scared in the wall or in the last part. I was quite calm. Marijan said adrenaline drove him. Especially when the day before he read Rozka's report when she was holding tufts of grass and bushes. Tonet's description was so real that we had no problems at all. Carefully and it went. nasmeh

They are not deaf mežikanje

Reptiles hear

Reptiles' senses are well developed. Eyes, smell and hearing are very important. In snakes eardrum and middle ear are missing. They hear with the help of ground vibrations. Ground vibration is transmitted through the body to the inner ear. Turtles and lizards hear through the eardrum (round membrane on the head). Sound is transmitted through the eardrum to the middle ear and further to the inner ear. Snakes and lizards for smell besides the nose also use the tongue, with which they transfer substances from the environment to Jacobson's organ on the roof of the mouth.

I share my experience, I have often encountered snakes, last year on the path to Briceljek in October, even more surprising was the encounter with a viper in February, on steep grasses to Zadnjiški Ozebnik, where I almost grabbed it unknowingly. Most of them were on the descent from Kukova Špica, where screes pass into forest. The path is little visited, overgrown, here mountain vipers dominate.

Well, you never know. Even grass snakes go quite high. This one was at 1400m. It got scared of me.

Along the marked path to Bavški Grintavec. Plenty of water on the planina. At Velike vrata go under the gully (maybe this: https://www.primorskestene.com/?mod=catalog&action=viewRout&id=876&action_id=133&lang=sl), didn't read the description so go my own way. Two jumps were visible. Climb there and higher on the left spot a cairn, peek and see could come via easier pathless terrain. In the continuation the gully is not hard probably 1st grade, above it to the left steep grass appears, there it's better to belay. Higher the dwarf pines also help, short demanding ridge and already at the summit. Descent quite demanding.
