How's the snowfield under Ojstrica? Can you go around it, or do you need to cross it?

Are the safety features towards the glacier still in bad condition? Are the cables torn?

Thanks for the tips. We went through the gully to Turska gora. We returned the same way. Early in the morning it was very cold and windy. Before it cleared up we were back at Okrešelj.

Can someone suggest a tour to Turska gora via Turski gully, so to return back to parking at dom planincev. Don't want the tour longer than 10 hours. Preferably less.

Hello
What's the snow field like below the Ojstrica summit? Can one bypass it, or is it necessary to cross it with crampons? Last winter was not rich in snow, so I assume no crampons needed. Still glad for a reply. Thanks,

Rok, Wonderful. That's the most beautiful thing you can experience in the mountains. Did you go alone? What's the path like? Are crampons and ice axe needed? I'm tempted to go too. But I have no winter high-mountain experience. I was on Košuta yesterday. I spent the day waiting on the top. Unfortunately it was cloudy in the morning.

How is the path to Mala Mojstrovka? It doesn't fit here but I'll ask anyway. Is it trampled or are crampons needed...? How much snow is there...? Thanks

How is the road to Vršič, or how far by car? Haven't been to Slemeno Peak yet precisely because of the crowds rolling up there. But I got the idea to go up at night and wait for sunrise. I also have ideas for other places but this one tempts me. So how far by car and what winter gear do I need. Thanks.

What are the conditions for the path to Stenar over Sovatna? I plan to go only after 24.11. Until then it's far and conditions can change a lot. I don't go to high mountains in winter, but it pulls me to go. Stenar seems a bit tamer regarding exposure. Of course if new snow falls I won't go. If someone can provide info I'd be grateful. I'll also check conditions the day before. LP

What's the path to Triglav via Plemenice like? Any snow? Crampons needed? Thanks for reply.

I'll contribute some pics of Hanz's path to Mala Mojstrovka too. 17.08. really nice Sunday. True rarity of this summer.
Beautiful path. Let's go again sometime.

I'll attach some more pics for a better idea.

I agree with what's written. It needs to be taken into account. I've already hiked quite a few hills. But I can never compare to you. Winter high mountains are not for me. I don't like crowds, I haven't been to Triglav, say and write, for a full 22 years. This year I promised my wife we'll go. Just for that. Otherwise other mountains are just as nice. Once I'll go up Plemenice too. That's still my wish. I don't need more than that. I'd rather go elsewhere. Time will run out for all of us too. I see these things that way.
Anyway, each their own way.
Safe steps to all of you.

What do you say? Will there be huge crowds on Triglav tomorrow?
We're tempted to go, but crowds we don't like too much. LP

Yesterday my wife and I were on Raduha via the climbing route.
Really nice areas. For my taste the path from Loka doesn't reach the knees in beauty of the path from planina Grohat. The climbing path is nothing special, just at one end you have to make a bit of effort to pull over the rock. Caution is not superfluous. Especially yesterday when everything was still wet from rain. Rocks were smooth. Helmet in my opinion mandatory, because the path goes under steep walls. We had svk with us, but didn't need it. Somewhere I read someone comparing this path to Hanzova. I don't remember which one. Not even H. from Hanzova. Of course I don't want to influence that someone would take it with left hand. Especially in wet it's dangerous. Sun no longer shines into the wall. On the way back we jumped also to Lanež, where we took pics at Aljažev stolp. Substitute for Triglav, which we planned yesterday, but changed mind because of weather
