Today I climbed Veliko Kladivo from planina Pungrat via Šija on the direct uphill path. Conditions were good, winter gear mandatory of course. To the saddle between Mali and Veliko Kladivo with small crampons, then put on real crampons and took ice axe, as snow on final ascent to summit is frozen. To saddle not much snow on slope, but small crampons allow safer step even on dry grass. Can't drive car all the way to Pungrat on slightly snowy but passable road, as ca 200m before pasture fallen spruce across road. Obviously result of yesterday's gale-force wind.

I really find it unbelievable that people like špik81 take so much time and bitch around the forum instead of enjoying the mountains themselves and maybe sharing nice and interesting photos and their good or bad experiences with the rest

Was on VDV Wednesday morning, an exceptional sunny day and excellent conditions. Snow starts at 1600m. Gašper went ahead and eased the path with his track. Views to Triglav were exceptional. We tried to climb Ablanca too, but turned back due to a crevassed snow crack 60m below the summit.
