Mr. Trobec, I apologize!

@Trobec, she wrote under the photo when on top: "on the highest peak of Western Europe, or the highest peak of the EU"

Congratulations...

On Crna Prst we were on Sunday, on the summer path past the former Mencingar hut. Right at the first steep section from the road there is some broken trees and branches over the path, but walkable without major issues. Path to Orožnova hut is trampled and doesn't sink at current morning temperatures.
Further, over Moda to the top no problems, again hard frozen snow. To the last gully on skis, for the summit climb swapped skis and poles for crampons and ice axe.
On Saturday we plan to repeat the tour.

Best, Ivan

Practically no snow anymore, path normally "passable" with summer mountaineering gear

On Sunday I was on ČP, past Orožnova koča. As -otiv- noted, there's still quite some snow under the wall. Snow is soft and three before me had made footsteps, but I continued anyway with "crampons in hands and ice axe on foot". Descended via the pasture behind Črna gora, snow patches there too.

Tomorrow repeat the same route...
