Tomorrow, 19.6.2008, around noon I'm basically heading via Kriška stena to Kriški podi, then on Friday Razor(?), back to the car (maybe Jubilejna then through Okno). I'd be really happy for company if anyone goes - 041 696 470.

Has anyone been up recently over Gamsov skret? Conditions?

Sorry for such a late reply, but somehow there was no time before...
The plan changed that morning because I was late due to obligations, plus a friend at the last moment said he'd come too. Only in the afternoon from Ljubljana to the bivouac at Akom, next day M. Ponca was planned. Got to the larches, lounged a bit then back - WEATHER! Down in the woods it really soaked us.
Snow still quite some on north sides now, mornings can be hard!

Thanks triglavski for the reply, I'll definitely pack the gear in the backpack; but open for other options too... Weekend unfortunately no time...

The snow is mostly not too hard, so didn't use crampons, but better to have them in the backpack just in case. Ice axe is nice to have in hand on steep snowfield!

On Monday, 9.6.08, in the evening my friend and I started from Vrata towards the "four", weather idyllic after the shower. Snow starts about 200m below the bivouac (crampons not necessary-they come in handy at most in the morning, ice axe is useful). Tuesday morning continuation over some steep snowfields, ascent on snow instead of scree, then on the secured path to the top(dry). Down scree- and snow- express.
The alpine idyll was disturbed only by a mouse in the bivouac that practically doesn't let you sleep all night
