Today 24.6. visited Cold Mountain. Path almost entirely dry, crosses one short snowfield approx. 2m where need to be a bit careful. Rest without problem.

Urška Kolenc, the gully is still solidly snowed in, snow from the big rock before the cables almost to the top of the gully. Photo today

Rome, I'm just passing on a description from someone who was up there on 27.10.22
Up to 2500m no snow. Gorjanska path is completely dry and without problems. Towards the summit when you go around the last bend (where the fixed rope is) there's a 2m snow patch where you need to be careful, then right away fixed rope sprinkled with snow. Towards the summit snow that can be bypassed.

The ridge and towards M. Triglav is worse in places because of snow. Some went without anything, even helmets. Where you can grab pitons, fixed ropes it's somehow OK, there are a couple of sections of a few meters with frozen snow that's problematic. These conditions change depending on sun, wind, melting and freezing of snow/water or not. Anyway, conditions not for everyone.

I'm attaching a few photos for better idea. Personally I descended the ridge without winter gear, on M. Triglav I still put on crampons. This isn't full winter gear, but that was my personal decision. I know why and how to walk with them on different surfaces.

Note that in shady parts there will almost certainly be snow and if you slip on the ridge towards north you probably won't stop even with ice axe.

I completely agree with Trobec. These parking fees aren't normal, I'm not saying parking must be free, but no need to exaggerate either. First 10€ for parking, 20€ gas, coffee at the hut 3€, and nothing extra with coffee.... Usually I avoid huts anyway, but I think it's right to leave some € there sometimes. Well in the future definitely not anymore, I'll bring my own little beer and jota.

Bravo for the trip. Super route description!

strojan; the path is dry from Kam. saddle to Planjava.

Today 3.1. up and down the central, conditions excellent, situation as matej 2000 wrote

Primm, the path is not tidied up at all, but if you're used to scree, occasionally pulled-out pegs, you can go up without major problems. For descent, better via Turski gully.

Jbs, bravo and congrats to daughter, met you a bit below Triglav, girl went up more confidently than many others on path. Could see she has lots of km walked already.

kolenc1996 don't write nonsense, or you weren't even on Jalovec?!

Regarding large carabiners - personally I like them, but it's true they sometimes slip over the anchor where the cable is clipped and get stuck. No problem though, if there are plastic protections against anchors.

Hope you post some picture? Congrats on the tour

Today on Jalovec via Kotovo sedlo. Path without special features, weather wonderful, views everywhere. Quite a few visitors at the summit, most from Vršič, a couple of us from Tamar.

I have a harness with this swivel from another maker, but in practice it's not all oh and wow, it still tangles.

Nice greeting, did the path through the gully yesterday 27.6.2020. No winter gear needed for the path, no ice axe, no crampons. Altogether you step 1m on snow. Weather excellent, lots of people on all peaks. Protections OK. But watch out 30m before the end of the new cable, there are some rocks waiting to tumble down.
