Kranj!
Very unfriendly reply! And then you wonder why you get it back at the sea!?

Unique opportunity!

very good report with useful info! Thanks

Envy is just oozing! Dressed in different outfits. But envy is the worst of all motives that drive people to the mountains!

When will they take the tower for renovation?
Who knows?

Korlek this has to happen to you and most don't believe until it happens to his ego. I wrote take it or leave it! It wasn't planned but instinctive! What is range? Does Top have range? Korlek you are lolek!

Pure truth; you're bullshitting, korlek!
I stand by every word of mine! Take it or leave it! And do you pity too? Attach a link to serious thinking!

Now more concrete. In August 2012 I went on 9.8. from Orebić via Beli polje to the top and back same way. Bought a small flashlight and on 11.8. at 3 am (on the path that was fatal about two weeks earlier for theater actor Miro Podjed) from hotel via Ruskoviče to the top. Returning from top I hit a small tree (better said branch 4 cm thick) with head and quickly ducked. Over it jumped a poskok. In same situation friend walked ahead and hit head on branch and since then I'm convinced the attack was aimed at neck. Have phone but behave as if you don't have it. Snakes are real danger and no fiddling will help. Fairy-talers full of advice until something happens. This moment all ok; next already all wrong! Locals know and don't underestimate them. And luck to all!

Snakes are there! Jumps on bushes and tree branches and that right below the top.

I don't know if I can add anything more "professional"? Advise not to rely on stopping with ice axe and neither on various "spiritual" exercises! Training stopping with ice axe doesn't hurt!
But not police-style on Grintovčeva roof!
Safest is not to fall at all!! Everything else is nonsense! Few can boast they stopped with ice axe! Many more the others!
Two ice axes?? Very quickly you stick one "behind" to have both hands free and wish for a third!

Never conquered! Visited!

Had light and heavy Alpina boots and had problems (partial sole delamination, heel worn after two months etc. They really warranted or repaired all. As I wrote, after morning dew 5 min and all wet! For 120€ expect more! Really miss Ratitovec gojzars but Italians supposedly ruined them .... Now have light 5.10 and so far very satisfied With Alpina finished

Alpina; for that money too expensive boots! Poor quality material - a bit better cardboard that, despite care, doesn't hold the morning dew! Nice-looking in an Italian style! I've finished with them!

Pure ten!

It kinda pushes me aside when I see vehicles going into hundreds of thousands € and the model "saves" where there's almost nothing to save. If you were good buyers or negotiators, the vehicle supplier would gladly give you this newly discovered pulfer (your kit) as a gift !!!
