Today we were on Konj. From planina Dol we followed footprints which ended at Planina Rzenik. We continued on our own to the top of Konja. Since there was brush under the snow, our track doesn't stick to the summer path and probably won't be usable for long!

Today, 1.10.2022, we went on a foggy walk to Grintovec. Up to the Saddle we still had some rain. We barely noticed the renovated hut in the fog. There is some snow only on the last 100 meters to the top of Grintovec. Today it was a strong southerly wind, winter gear was not needed. If you go up the ridge, you almost completely avoid it. The rocks were slippery due to mud and rain.

I was up yesterday too and couldn't open the little tower...

Today from sandpit in Korošica valley past Bear Cave to Mokrica and Kompotela and further to Košutna. Over planina Košutna and Koren to Korošica valley. Path completely dry, some snow patch for refreshment.

May 1st on Peca from Topla valley over Knipsovo sedlo. Path without particularities, snow starts 15 min below saddle where slope eases. First left to Končnikov vrh with some Austrian ski tourers, then back to saddle. To Peca only footprints - ours lead over Velika glava. To Dom na Peci well trodden. Snow yesterday south-facing, no crampons needed. Also visited Mala Peca and King Matjaž cave and descended to Topla.

3.4. we walked around these parts. Attaching pic of landslide, cave is nicely visible left of the landslide. If someone goes to Presedlaj, suggest this safe variant: At Orglicah turn right onto unmarked path towards Veža. Soon turn right off it onto worse trail. After crossing gully, continue between gully and ridge upwards to marked path. There we put a cairn so you know where to turn off the path on descent.

Today 23.1.2021 hardest part of path over Hude konce was crossing Potok which is now very raging. Snow starts at 1000m asl, slippery to ridge. On ridge sinks about a foot deep. At Kamnik Peak midday 1cm fresh snow, rained before. Descended to Županje njive and road to car.

Today, 17.12., we were on Grintovec from Konc. From Suhadolnik only one poor track was visible. From Kamnik direction quite hard snow to the Saddle, further today soft. Temperatures in sun were purely summery. You need full winter gear and enough experience where and when to use it.

Yesterday we broke the trail to Kalška gora via Kalce. Snow starts 20 minutes above the hunters' hut, knee-deep sinking behind the walls. The fixed rope is now almost fully dug out of the snow, on the ridge it's windblown and icy - highly recommend winter gear. Since there was no wind, our track probably remained.

Yesterday we did the mentioned route. First to Vrbanove špice. Protections in good condition. From the Stanič hut to Rjavina along the ridge and descent via secured path to Pekel and on to Kot. Unpleasant descent on wet and muddy rocks in lower part.

The road is repaired, some traces of torrent water remain. Today it was already fully parked in the morning, the upper parking also had two cars although the path is worse. How it is to the saddle I don't know, over Žmavčarje the path is without features.

Today on Turkish Mountain via Žmavčarje past the bivouac under Skuta. Road to Konec already cleared. No peculiarities on the path, you have to cross snow patches twice - today winter gear was not needed for safe crossing. The summit was unfortunately in clouds.

Spring walk, winter gully and climbing in short sleeves on south face of Staničev vrh - summary of today's trip. Two snowfields under pools crossable without crampons, gully still very wintry with some ice sections. South wall dry, summit and descent ridge to saddle too.

The path is almost entirely bare. Snowy sections were softened today, could reach the summit safely without crampons.

We walked the path today in the opposite direction. We started before Predmeja and via the Srednječavenska path reached the hut on Čavn. We continued over Veliki Modrasovec, from there to the Hut below Golaki and on to Mali Golak. We descended to Predmeja past the E. Čibej hut in Tiha dolina and a few more kilometers on the road to the car. We took less than 5 hours. Dry to Čavn, further on still quite some snow - today it was softened, crampons not needed.
