Vik, I'm correcting you: Upper pillar from Šija Brane ... you're right, everything stays in place nasmeh
Some more impressions on my blog.

I recommend! Rare are the years when everything is frozen ...

Due to slightly worse weather this time we didn't wander into the high mountains, according to the forecast it will wait for us a bit longer. Instead we (this time we were in female company - and yes finally at least similar to people!) drove to Pekel near Borovnica ... despite slightly worse conditions we nicely slid to the parking lot, which was still empty when we arrived. Along the summer hiking path we went up past the first small waterfall (all marked with signs), which is not for climbing and after about 30m reached the second waterfall - here our climbing for today started. Waterfall nicely frozen, ice just right hard ... no spraying or breaking through. These conditions held through all 5 waterfalls and also in between in the gully. Ice in the gully started to get perforated just before the last waterfall, but that wasn't noteworthy. Really nice is the fourth waterfall, finger-licking good ... not too hard, but not too easy either. At the top there's already a driven piton for belaying and an auxiliary rope attached.

In a good hour we climbed all the waterfalls then along the summer path - slide (little snow, lots of leaves and roots) carefully slid back to the valley to the warm. On the way back we met more groups, which were tackling the peklenšček that day nasmeh

Hand washes hand ... it was easier for us anyway because we were two and could alternate in trailbreaking. Though, hand on heart, the lion's share was done by Jure a.k.a. ratrak nasmeh

Today, as written above, we were on Jalovec. At 4:00 AM -10°C wakes us at the parking lot, so we step a bit faster, past the hut in Tamar we stepped less than 40 minutes later. Higher under Ozeznik, the reflection of a headlamp was already visible, slowly advancing towards the entry. When we step out of the forest, snow surprises us, which we personally didn't want: combination of icy slabs, wind-blown snow, crusty snow,... etc., mostly snow that sank up to the knees. We encounter this all the way to the top.

Up to the entry into Ozeznik we follow the footsteps of the predecessor, to whom we are very grateful, from the entry onwards we blaze the trail ourselves. Here strong wind joins the cold, further lowering the temperature. We can thank the wind also for the drifted trail. Upon exiting Ozeznik, the sun shines on us for the first time and the mood improves even more as truly beautiful and clear views open before us. The winter approach through the chimney is really not suitable yet, no snow even for a sample, so we renew the trail on the summer path area. Here let me mention a slightly more difficult section (at the fixed cables, which are currently sticking out), which was iced with a thin layer of ice. The approach along the ridge is really one of the nicer ones, the trail itself is nicely laid out with only one slightly harder traverse.

At the top we were rewarded with views far around. Surprisingly, it was less windy at the top than below and we could enjoy a bit longer. In short, to use Jure's statement: Superlatives in all respects. Jalovec is really one and only! Time-wise: 6 hours to the top from in front of the Planinska Velikanka (with all breaks and enjoyments), descent 3.5 hours.

I'm not even defending him, I just commented ... if I think well it's really a sow, me nasmeh

I had to register properly on the portal to comment this. With Jure (Mali Gobar) we do lots of ascents and trips together. I think ... or know, he's not a person who flies headlessly and rushes at any cost. With him I go anywhere without hesitation and trust him ... he has a limit, like I do, and it's really not hard for us to turn back. Every ascent is its own story and it's a pity if the novel ends too soon. If he was at the summit, then it was safe (safe is relative).

Ah, Jure, I already thought I was that "piglet" who goes with you to the mountains, me!? nasmeh
