Yesterday from Vrata via Sovatna to Stenar, then also to Bovški Gamsovec and back via Luknja to Vrata. Weather above 2000 m top-notch - sunny and practically no wind. Views excellent - only mountains visible that broke through the clouds. Lots of animals along the path - chamois enjoyed the sun and happily posed for photos, there were also some marmots and ptarmigans ... In short fantastic autumn hike!

Yesterday I started in Planica, over Tamar and Kotovo sedlo. Conditions and views excellent. No crowd at the top - but a 77-year-old guy impressed me, who came from Vršič and was a bit disappointed because he needed 5 hours, which was 1 hour worse than 12 years ago . I wish him many more successful climbs!

Descent over scree, which is scree only in theory and I advise against it - constant search for suitable ground which you never find. After last avalanche lots of sharp big stones, sometimes "washed out" base with little fine sand ... in short torment. At the end you make peace with poorly visible track that desperate predecessors made and hope to reach as soon as possible the path under Kotovo sedlo.

17.10.2022 from Kot via climbing to Rjavina, then ridge to Stanič and from there over Vrbanove špice back to valley. Weather top-notch, no snow on path.

This morning for warm-up to Slemenova špica then via Hanzova to M. Mojstrovka. After the entire secured section snow underneath and ice. In my opinion helmet and self-belay kit mandatory, because very slippery and also when it warms up an ice candle can fly. Otherwise ideal weather offering excellent views.

This morning I jumped to Slemenova Peak, then also to M. Mojstrovka. Gorgeous morning with wonderful views. The path to Slemenova Peak is a bit slippery, but with careful steps it poses no major problems.

This morning I was on Storžič. There was only a sample of snow. It was windy at the top, but the views were decent despite the cloudiness.

GITA - yes, it holds; we really met a bit above the chamois. With my colleague we barely noticed them, because they were quite far from the path.
And thanks for the compliment!

GITA -well, I thought I had made a couple of good photos that day ... All praise for the phenomenal photos!

Today finally also to Spik. Start at Russian cross then via Krnica and Lipnica to top. Descent via Kačji graben.
Weather top-notch - temperatures just right, almost no wind and phenomenal views.

rezist - for such pics the response is more than deserved

Today 6:30 start at hut under Košuta. After 2 hours at Cjajnik, which shyly hid in clouds. Followed ridge traverse to Košutnikov turn then descent back to hut under Košuta.
Interesting and adrenaline via ferrata, will visit again (hope third time no clouds).

rezist - to return the compliment from yesterday - top-notch pics!

Thanks!

Today started at 0:30 from Kot Valley. Despite clear sky there was no heat. At 5:45 on top of Triglav, where strong and cold wind awaited me. Views were good despite cloudiness. After an hour rest in shelter return to Stanič's hut and then over Vrbanje Spikes to the valley.

This morning via Hanzova to Little Mojstrovka. Temperatures just right, views solid. Descent via southern path over scree

Today on Črna prst and Rodica. Start at 5.00 at Dom dr. Mencingerja. To Črna prst 1.5 hours, to Rodica another 2 hours. Back it went a bit faster
Views were solid despite some fog, but by 12 it got quite warm. The ridge trail is very scenic and in dry conditions not too technically demanding.
