Yesterday we were on Razor from Vrata via Sovatna. Path entirely dry and without issues...

Hi

We were on Olševa 08.02.
To Potočka zijalka all completely dry, further some small snow patches mainly in shady spots, sunny parts completely snow-free. Ridge path to summit has 20-30 cm snow, but no issues... summit itself mostly windblown and rocky. We had crampons but they stayed in backpack. That's it, cheers.

Some pics from today's ascent to Ablanco and Veliki Draški vrh from Rudno polje...both stamps are out, winter gear stayed in the backpack today...

Bravo Trobec, you've written this excellently!
I strongly hope those heroes read your note and think about their thoughtless adventure... I hope they've learned something for the future, because this time they got lucky, maybe next challenge ends differently...

Some photos from village Avsa to Matajur on Friday 04.03.
Path well trodden, not icy, some dry sections in between, towards the top snow quite hard, but crampons not needed. Still need caution on the path... Return via Mrzli and Srednji vrh...

Some pics from yesterday's tour Hruški vrh, Koprivnjak, Dovška Baba...
Path very nice, no special features, warm weather, views wonderful all around, really a day to enjoy...

Some pics from yesterday...
Kluže-Rombon-Čukla-Bovec. The path is fully dry and clear, no issues, just a small patch of snow at the very top for show...
Otherwise the weather is cloudless and incredibly warm for the season.

Yesterday I was on Cold Mountain.
Starting point Matkov kot and descent by the same path back.
The crossing under Matkov Škaf is dangerous, where ice stalactites and rocks of all sizes constantly fall down, so helmet is mandatory.
Not much snow, starts around 1600 m off the path. Around 1800 m snow also on path but with bare spots in between. Higher up more of it, around 20-30 cm quite hard and firm, winter gear recommended.
Last 100 elevation meters path almost fully snow-covered, summit little snow but mostly dry and bare...

Today I was on Mrzla Mountain and the view from it towards Turkish Mountain and the gully shows very little snow or is mostly bare...
I'm attaching a photo taken from Mrzla Mountain and I hope it helps you...

Regards.

hanč...

For the ascent we needed around 3.30 h, descent good two hours. A bit below the summit some small aids, but they don't represent any special feature...
The trail itself is very nice, when you reach the ridge, from there the trail to the summit goes almost along the ridge,
there are drops on both sides, but the trail / path is wide enough for safe walking...

Regards.

Yesterday we were on Kepa.
Starting point: Erjavčev rovt, Gubno, Dovška Mala Kepa - Kepa. We had wonderful and warm weather, superb views...the trail itself very nice and without any special features... Really for enjoyment!

Some pics from Saturday from Mala and Velika Mojstrovka.
The path is already almost entirely bare, dry and completely normally passable.
Before the gully there are still two
smaller "patches" of snow and then one on the ridge, but they pose no difficulties in crossing snow. Winter gear on this path (South path) no longer needed.
Below Velika Mojstrovka there is still a larger snowfield, snow all the way to the top, summit dry and rocky, but goes up without winter gear. For less experienced ice axe recommended, crampons almost not needed, can walk nicely on snow...

I also conquered Ablanca, Tosc, Veliki and Mali Draški vrh from Rudno polje today and Viševnik at the end.
Tour fantastic, weather wonderful, morning without a cloud, conditions very good. Path almost completely dry, some small snow patches to cross or bypass, but no big deal...Winter gear completely unnecessary today, you can walk nicely and normally on snow, when crossing snow patches which aren't many on the path still be careful. Stamps all out...
Otherwise the day really for relaxation and enjoying all its beauty...

Yesterday I was on Škrlatica and Dolkovi špici. Nice tour, completely dry, snow was only a sample and off the path, so winter gear was completely unnecessary this time. Towards red škrbina under Dolkova špica there was a bit more snow, of course on north side, but it could be gone around nicely along the edge. But snow hard and frozen like concrete, so careful. Descent on SW side back to valley all dry.

Some souvenirs from yesterday's hike to Debela peč and Brda.
The hike was really beautiful and wonderful, we had a fantastic time! Weather, sunshine and views....phenomenal, really to enjoy!!!
And great company from Styrian parts!

stankoju, thanks for the company and pics and hope we come together like this again sometime...
