Hi!

I'm new to very demanding protected paths in the mountains and via ferrata climbing, and something interests me about slings and 'resting'.

A few months ago I was on a via ferrata course. They showed us how to use the sling, but since I didn't need and use it during that, I forgot which knots can be made? - I wouldn't have it exactly for resting, but because I take a lot of photos in the mountains and I'd like to additionally secure myself in more exposed sections to feel safer.

I looked a bit on the internet and saw few slings, many more so-called ''loops'', which look to me like the ones we used on the course - is it the same thing?
I also noticed several different lengths... how to look at that? The length?

Regarding karabiners... is it better to have auto-locking karabiners or those with wiregate?

I know I can ask all this in some hiking store and I will, but I'd still like to inquire a bit here too

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, wondering if it's possible to drive to Jermanca by car?

Hi!
Does anyone know what the current path to Olševa is like? Is there any snow up there, do you need microspikes?

Also, which path to the top is the easiest?

Best regards

I bought the sling, followed the recommended length and already tested it - all great.

Big thanks to both for the answers!

Big thanks for your opinions! I'll definitely head up, good luck to you too

Hi!
I've been going to the mountains more intensively for 2 years now and I've been to Ojstrica (via Mala Ojstrica), Brana, Planjava, Storžič... maybe elsewhere on some of these demanding routes.
Also did a via ferrata course, did the difficult Mojstrana ferrata and Hvadnik ferrata. Wondering: is Turkish Mountain via Turski žleb up and down via Kotliče suitable for me yet?
It's been pulling me up there hard for a long time, especially heard it's quite adrenaline filled (usually exposed parts are pure pleasure for me), but want to check and hear others' opinions.
