Does anyone maybe have experiences with purchases via sport-conrad...

Yesterday, 13.8., I found a red Garmont sneaker with sock at the entrance to Kranjska poča (NŠG). If someone misses it, they can get it at Tičarca.

Hanzova is still collapsing; when climbing the south wall of Nad Šitom on 25.6. there was again a big fall in Hanzova; not pleasant to watch from the "wall"...

Heinz, here you probably missed it, the first ascent was by Uroš Župančič - Žuro and Leo Baebler, in 1936, Hudeček was born a year later...

I'd just comment on one thing, namely crampons yes or no and when, I don't wanna act smart, far from it. Worries me when the debate starts going in this direction like here. Mainly interests me where "some experts...(you know who I mean, hope no one gets offended unnecessarily)" train walking with crampons. Hope not just spontaneously on demanding terrain you stumble upon during a tour. Nothing wrong with putting crampons on easy terrain and walking with them to get a feel for walking, whether on a little hill behind the house or on easier approaches where the "full experienced" might mock you. Of course smart to take ice axe too and do maneuvers you see e.g. on Mr. Belet's course. You won't train that there, you'll get just the needed info, rest is up to you...
Mountain lover, good you're fermenting nonsense, so it won't occur to me to ever take you, cuz I'm a good soul and often take folks somewhere. Also e.g. Višarski graben can be a b*tch sometimes.
Gotta realize too that descents are way more demanding than ascents, and you're barely halfway.
Wish you lots of nice winter tours, especially safe return to loved ones by the warm stove, whatever paths you'll take.
Hope I didn't stray too much from topic and didn't bore ya, seen plenty in the hills, summer and winter...
Safe steps to all.

pikica1, it came down on 3.9. in the morning, a warning was issued, the pictures of the "hikers" are from 4.9.,...

Technical gear should be of the same quality in any store, as it must have a quality certificate. Occasionally it happens anyway that the manufacturer recalls certain series of products due to defects (e.g. Petzl's Grigri 2...), this happens to other "big" manufacturers too, for example in the automotive industry.
As for the self-belay kit, I advocate a kit with stretchy slings, so-called ferrata connectors and brake plate; the manufacturer is not even important (my opinion).

Matz, just boldly head out on the path, it's nicely routed and well secured where needed.

Nice tour, for me the nicest spots in the Julians

nadka, it's nicer for sure and also quite a bit longer, but you first reach the saddle..., then continue Slovenian or Italian.

aonuk1 and mdj, for connecting the upper and lower parts of the harness, an 8 mm accessory cord is used

To the Ljubljana guys I suggest the path over Fernetiči, then towards Udine and back to Tarvisio, super path, all highway...

I agree with turbo

Come on Žiga, don't talk nonsense..., this is what she asked: "Wondering if one adult - one child or all four on one rope team, or adult in front, ...?". You can belay on stance ("critical spots"), when both are moving on short rope, but you have to be skilled at that and have a feel for what the protected one is doing.

Two rope teams, of course some basic knowledge of moving with them is needed, or rope leading, otherwise it becomes dangerous for all participants...

Juš, I'm from the heart of the Julians as you know too, for me the Julians are "ours", from west to east, from north to south...
