Has anyone been up there in the last few days?

Today I walked the route Planina Kuhinja - Lake in Lužnica - Batognica - Krn - Planina Kuhinja. On the way to Batognica there are some steep snowfields that need to be crossed with great caution (for safety I recommend ice axe). Snow is soft.

Planina Kuhinja - Krn, path is snow-free.

Yesterday I went over Komarča to Veliko Špičje and on along the ridge to Prehodavci then descended via Komna. Path from Hut at Triglav Lakes to entry into Špičje wall is poorly traceable in places due to high undergrowth. The rest to top of Veliko Špičje and on ridge to Prehodavci is in good condition and no snow patches.

According to the pictures, there was much less snow today. The only snowfield recommended to avoid is somewhere at the start of the roof. That shouldn't be a problem, as the whole roof is one path

Today I visited Storžič via the ridge path; really noteworthy snowfields are only on the first half of the Bašelj Pass - Storžič section. On about three of them more caution is needed, and if frozen without crampons and ice axe it is not possible.

Today I visited Dom na Komni. Parking was packed full in the morning (due to snow capacity greatly reduced - if you have the will, you can shovel a spot ). The path itself was well trodden, morning still nicely frozen, afternoon started breaking through in lower third.

@bernc; the direction is quite right, the path over Jalovško škrbino is relatively exposed where practically only pegs (except some cables) and natural holds help you;
the path past the shelter, however, is much less exposed and thus suitable for descent

I'm also interested in what the conditions are like on the route direction: Jermanca - Planjava (over Kamniško sedlo)...

I'm also interested in conditions on Storžič. Judging by pictures crampons not needed, or am I wrong?

@ciendaw... you can go the traverse Suhadolnik (over Taško and Grdi graben) - K. and J. Kočna - Grintovec - Kokrsko sedlo - Suhadolnik (old path). The path drags on quite a bit, but I think it's worth the effort. Maybe just warn that a helmet is almost necessary due to the high friability on these paths.

Also in my opinion, this "highway" to Jakob is desecration of the hill itself. Sad

Please report on the conditions.

This morning I strolled to Stol via the Žirovniška path. The path is mostly dry, except between hut and summit there is some soft snow. Only the hut was closed.
