Yesterday on Krofička, up hunter's path marked. No snow, but hunter's path really orientationally very demanding. From meadow we went straight up wall to summit. Rock very crumbly, be very careful. Otherwise very nice tour.

Mountain lover, this one is from 2011. I put it up just to show some who are (finally) preparing for their first ascent to Triglav.

This is what the ascent to Mali Triglav looks like.

Anyone else gone toward Batognica?

Yesterday my buddy and I went from Belca to Kepa. Trail dry all the way, views... (judge yourselves)

Yesterday via Kopinškova to Ojstrica, regarding snowfield (packed-hard snow) I recommend ice axe because runout is looong! The snowfield can also be bypassed lower but that's very risky due to scree and terrain steepness. Judge from pic yourself.

On Friday to Rombon from Kluž. The path is mostly dry, only in the upper part there are still some snow patches that can be bypassed, and the snow is windblown so it presents no real problems. But it was loooong.

Yesterday at 5:15 we headed up the Frischauf path to Grintovec.
On this path there are two snowfields. The first is easy, just need to kick steps with boots a bit, the second is still very dangerous because it's much steeper than the first. Good that I had my "little" crampons with me, behind us there was someone with an ice axe and so I made steps with the help of ice axe and crampons so that we went and those behind us could go quite safely across. Seems to me we were the first this morning, because there were no fresh footprints visible, only melted ones, I assume from the previous day. From Grintovec we then went to Jezersko Kočna, where there are also two snowfields to cross, which with great caution (and due to the sun-exposed snow) don't pose a major obstacle.

Lp and safe steps!

The path to Gora is completely dry.

Yes, I was also on Vrtača yesterday, but since I was early enough (start from Ljubelj at 5.45), I had no problems with anyone higher up triggering rocks on me. On the way back though, the summit was swarming with hikers. There were lots of them also on Stol and Begunjščica.

I'm interested if someone was recently on Vrtača from Ljubelj. What are the conditions, what to watch out for, gear?
We plan to go on Sunday if the weather is good with a colleague.

Mid-winter and everything green.

At those two places where the cable is torn there is no problem, but caution doesn't hurt. Otherwise we were yesterday with a colleague up there and it was great.
Nice mountain greeting!
