If anyone's heading to Kladivo, they can leave a pencil in the summit logbox, as it's missing now.

Another trifle I'm curious about is whether the KOSCHUTA HIKING markings (one-day event) have suddenly become permanent?

Čaven?

Yesterday finally to Suh vrh. In early December the ice storm twice kept me from the top, now its consequences are clearly visible. Above 1200m there's lots of broken trees and so all marked paths to Suh vrh above that height need clearing...

On the ridge above Mala Ojstrica FOUND BLACK GLOVE Love Alpine. Owner waiting in summit logbox at M. Ojstrica.

Marked path along ridge currently crosses quite steep snow patches (though from afar it looks different), so ice axe still highly recommended on this side.

From Pungrat pasture to Škrbina you need to cross a small snow patch, higher up the path is torn up by hooves a bit more than other years. For the top of Kladivo winter gear is still needed, while for Pungrat mountain it's not.

Finally snow again

Starts approx at 1700 m and thickens slowly with altitude

higher up about 15 cm, in drifts we waded up to our knees.

Just FYI if someone plans to fill fresh water before ascent:
Due to current water shortage, PIPE ABOVE PARKING CLOSED.

Yesterday we went up via Žmavčarje. To the top of Štajerska Rinka practically no snow on the path, for higher up still recommended "winter gear".

More visible from the pics below.

Today Slavnik was the right stuff...

in Podgorje I found an ORANGE LENS OF SPORTS GLASSES (looks undamaged) and left it on the bench under the linden.

I didn't mean to comment, but since this debate about bashing Alpina has dragged on for a long time, I'd like to give my opinion too:

I really like Alpina.
I've had low Escape for 5 years,
3 years summer ones, which I can't find on the site anymore (similar to Tibet, just a bit lighter)
and this year winter Teton.

Super satisfied with all and next will be Alpina again!
Price ratio (especially regular discount sales)/quality is much higher at Alpina than elsewhere.

Today under the summit of Little Snežnik I FOUND ČUTARO!

It's waiting for the owner at the Dom na Sviščakih.

Today on Nanos it's autumn again...
To the antennas even in short sleeves, up there it was a bit drafty and more like winter.

By the way: rime ice and larger chunks of ice were flying nicely from the antennas, so it's worth paying attention when crossing under them, or avoid it.

Pag?

I was up there yesterday afternoon and it was already obviously greener, the ice has melted too... I'd just add that the logbook has been full for a long time.

We went Thursday to bivouac under Luknja (judging by the conditions I'd say first this year). Even at night small avalanches from Stene didn't stop, so we didn't go even to Luknja...snow starts at ca 1200m and at 1600m 100cm.

Friday morning when the sun hit Stenar as facko said...constant party - like in cinema

Sovatna already quite avalanched with much dirt on snow - at least from afar it looked so, so skiing probably not enjoyable
