Hello!

As the hiking season starts, the chance of accidents increases too (hope not (knock on wood)). So I have a few questions about safety in the mountains:
- do you use a self-belay kit everywhere it's needed (very difficult paths) or not (confident in your abilities)
- has anyone actually used the self-belay kit: slipped/fell and it saved them. What was the feeling, was everything OK.
- which harness kits are the best and highest quality

Thanks in advance for answers and wish you safe and happy trails in the mountains.

Greetings! I'm interested in the path from Vršič towards Razor? Are there still dangerous snow fields? Thanks and take care.

Hi! I'm also interested which ones you recommend, since I have big problems with socks, mainly discomfort, blisters etc. Thanks.

Interesting, this Jelenk, no people etc., but it's quite good for building fitness. Though what will stick most in my memory is that there was a telephone cable instead of steel cables

Was on Porezen on Sunday (no rain), then to Zakojca and back. On the way back discovered a nice path that goes from below Porezen and is wonderful. After 8 hours back to the goal

Today visited Blegoš, nicely went up, then stop at hut and slowly down. Direct path good for building fitness, gotta go again. Interesting met group on path and one member in tevicah. Wasn't even that warm.

Thanks everyone for the tips, I will have to walk a bit before the season starts

Hi!
Can you advise where it's smart to go in winter to the mountains/hills? I don't want to expose myself to dangers, so any suggestion is welcome

Sabina, are there still any snow patches or icy slabs? Regarding slip hazard. Thanks and congrats (hope I'll soon manage to conquer the king of the mountains too)

I'm also interested, but I'm going on Sunday because I think Saturday won't be safe yet.

What about Sunday? Shame to waste a good/nice weekend

Snow is forecasted for Thursday, and I'm wondering if you think there'll be a lot of snow up to Razor? In other words, will it be safe?

Super OCUN, I have (no wonder it was on sale ))))

Why so many recalls? This is very irresponsible from the manufacturers, as they are playing with lives here.

Hi!I have to admit that the ascent from Kredarica to Triglav was a bit more demanding than expected. The ascent via Tominškova is easy (and I have some altitude issues), while the ascent from Kredarica due to worn rocks is quite dangerous for me (slipped once even). So careful on the rocks.

Congratulations to all, I hope the trail will be finished by the end of summer. Still about 10 stamps missing
