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

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.
