Hello!

I'm wondering if anyone has some rough logical list of peak sequence that makes sense to conquer before ascending:

a) Grossglockner,
b) Mont Blanc,

from technical, fitness and acclimatization viewpoint. My current state is such that I'd take say 3.5h to Triglav from Aljažev dom (actually some reserve left), technically that's also about the max so far.

Also interested about guides and what courses it'd make sense to join before, given I haven't walked on snow and glaciers yet. For Mont Blanc I've heard there are multi-day glacier courses that take you to the summit too.

Hello, I'm interested in the accuracy of the 5:30h data on the Seichenbrunn - Petzeck path marked on the forum or comparison with signs in our mountains, as I need to decide whether to check if beds in the hut are available in August/September or plan a day trip. Someone wrote in comments that the path takes 5h for someone in good condition. For me as by far the slowest team member (only one who does maybe 10 cardio activities per year) our paths marked 5:30 uphill take say 2:30-3h, downhill less, but here I'd like to confirm it won't mean actual 5+ hours for me.

Copying the same comment here too. Is this path officially still open? On 24 Aug I reached Križ via path over Bovška vratica and planned to continue on this path (over Dovška vrata) to Stenar via Stenarska vratca. First, below the summit a bolt from the fixed rope is torn out (doesn't cause problem even on descent), then a bit further it looks like a landslide happened. Another hiker had the same path idea, with whom we then pondered for a while if descent is safe and checked terrain, as path seemed buried. Then a foreign hiker came (who crossed the rocks above under the summit directly over landslide and dislodged big stones - if we hadn't hesitated, it would have hit us). Together we managed to reach Stenarska vratca, but not exactly on marked path, as it seemed too dangerous for descent.
