Towards the summit there's still one snowfield that can be avoided, no more snow elsewhere..

Slap Rinka - Mrzla gora. Two snow patches right at the start before climbing section, both crossed without winter gear, after that all dry.

28.6.2021 - view from Mrzla gora. If it helps anyone

20.6.2021 - Towards Brana I had to cross 2x 15m snow patches right at the start. On Sunday could cross here completely without problem even without winter gear. But need to judge yourself once up there. Had ice axe with me but didn't need it from Ks to Brana. Snow patch has shrunk a lot, much less extensive than that pic above and probably won't last long with temps.

20.6 Rinka Waterfall-Brana, right below the wall one snow patch where need to watch out, from there to top mostly clear. All doable without winter gear. Otherwise stones fly down badly so better take helmet up .

Regards,

Route Kamniško sedlo - Planjava, if it helps someone.

Ojstrica via Mala Ojstrica 14.6.2021, start from Planina Ravne and continued towards Korošica. Still lots of snow for this time of year. To Korošica there are 1000 variants of paths that usually lead through the most impassable parts; footprints in snow disappear fast due to heat, so you need to really know the path well not to wander around for hours. Before Korošica you have to cross a steep snowfield where it's not cool if you slip. Then towards Mala Ojstrica. Path mostly dry, lower some easier snowfields, higher just below summit of Mala Ojstrica and higher to Ojstrica summit dangerous steep snowfields; if you fall there you'll slide down to Korošica. Didn't use crampons because good steps could be made, ice axe was necessary though, even if some talents go up without anything. Descent the same way.

This is how Dleskovska planota looked on 28.5 from Veliki vrh, probably still lots of snow on the plateau, road to pl. Ravne clear though, lp

This is how it looked from Kališče on 26.5. In the lower part still three snow patches, goes without winter gear, from there on the path is bare half to the top.
