You find such characters everywhere in the high mountains in the summer season. Aggregation of various self-absorbed birds. One time it's food, another time bed quality, the third time too warm and expensive beer. Regardless of eating habits.

Don't judge others by yourself, that's it. And since when is a call for cultured dialogue provocation? Why the division into YOU and US? After all we are all potential customers of mountain stations whose primary purpose is profit-making activity.

GregorC: Here, a very correct answer. I'm vegetarian myself (so occasionally eat eggs and cheese), so in every hut there's something for me. The vegan buddies have the problem, they don't have that luck. Basically a tiny detail turns a dish vegan (margarine instead of butter, vegetable oil instead of lard, apple strudel without egg wash etc...). So even a vegan will happily devour a portion of good mountain stew.

Just a bit of respect and tolerance for different ones and a bit less judging will make this forum bearable again.

Unfortunately the simple answer wasn't given, if it was, it got lost in three pages of pointless ranting...

"But I have often witnessed guests..." - what bar-level argumentation is that. It's the same as if I tell you I have witnessed guests complaining about too rare beans or too small sausage... You can't generalize like that!

In every demographic you have the full cross-section of society - from whiners through self-absorbed jerks to completely normal individuals. Should now someone conclude from the 'meat-eaters' statements in this thread that all are arrogant self-centered pricks? Thought so...

Why do you all gang up on anyone who deviates from your norms. Once it's trail runner Dejan, next time plant-eaters...

Ugh, hope no one else gets scared off by all this helpfulness and friendliness. Maybe reflect on yourselves.

The woman nicely asked in which huts vegan food is available. Probably to ease her dilemma whether to drag all day rations or if there's something to eat in the hut too.

Some don't eat meat and animal proteins for ethical reasons, others for health, the third just feel better that way. Do you really have to be so mean?

A bit of culture, tact and general tolerance wouldn't hurt you.

P.S.: Caretakers still announce that hut will reopen 1 December 2012!

@markulin: Sorry, I couldn't tell you about the last window. But we had a nice trip this Thursday, 18.07.2012 - via ridge (past Front Window) to the summit with return via Slovenian (south) path. The path is impeccable, flowers so many you tread on them unwillingly!

@primoza: Phew, the young hiker surely wasn't too warm, neither was I.

@katy: Thanks! Next time definitely a balaclava, the beard froze (too much)!

Otherwise I urge everyone not to judge others too quickly. I remember as an 11-year-old wanting the wildest mountains and even wilder conditions myself.

If 'mula' wants it and if properly equipped for conditions and with a smart dad - why not!

A little intermezzo, Igor, last time I saw you on TV in the show about ZTP bivouac We'll bring the guy bread and fresh fruit next time we pass by.

The tour - hats off!

Today from Rudno polje, only one older guy ahead. Weather so-so - light snow drifting in strong wind, sun showing now and then. In shelter around -22°C by my thermocouple, on wind gusting hard didn't measure Trail poorly visible, mostly cut across summit approach to rock spur from saddle, then carefully up ridge to top.

Not too much snow, windblown up to 3/4m, else ~10cm. Last meters please careful, totally icy.
