The script is superficial, which tries to hide with pathos of some historical facts; what was once possible calls for nostalgia, today we are not capable of sincerity. The shots are edited Hollywood-style, which gives the feeling it's an ad for new hiking shoes or some Nat. Geogr. Ch. spot about pristine nature, which is spoiled by the view of high technology. The originality of alpinism is messed up with modernization, or as Štremfelj would say: "Today anyone can get to Mont Everest.."

Hi Klemen. If your videos don't belong on hribi.net, then I don't know where they should be placed first. "enit" with his remarks in my opinion fits better among office moths of the legal system in terms of what is human for a human, what not.
Your videos are among other things also public documents of dated conditions (on YouTube), which will be watched later and multiple times, not only by hikers (while "enit" & Co. will remember some human clause of prohibition of living), and moreover they are much more authentic than webcams, in this case visually more real than our written efforts to describe conditions.
In you reflects great love for life, beauty of not (yet) spoiled nature from bird's perspective, which gives the videos a tone of view from outside, somewhere above.. besides, the music in the videos wonderfully blends with the flight, flyover above...
It interests me, if not secret, author and name of the track you use often, say that one from Stol, 23.5.
I wish you all the best with... wind rushing between the lines...

.. and when it dresses in the crystal beauties of the Alps - Veliki Klek also comes into view...

Unfortunately I too avoid ascent to our Father due to very real above description which I experienced. Just because of general popularity of mountain and already shameful conditions in hut at Kredarica. Near Triglav there are couple beautiful mountains still luckily spared from popularity of "valley shouters". Though approach of true mountaineers shrinks unpopulated nature, scares animals and changes their natural cycle and life flow in high mountains over centuries with our visits, latest conditions in Kredarica hut are outright big black spot amid mountain crystals of some civilizational vulgarity. Whose authors certainly not true mountaineers. Dom at Kredarica as hut under highest peak should be example to all other mountain huts in Slovenia, not "boozers' sanctuary". If it's Slovenia's natural park, competent institutions should act. Don't know how it would hit keeper's psyche and pocket if during those night boozing hours, which he equals, probably financially and morally satisfied with self, visited by trade and/or sanitary inspector. In short, shameful situation caused by human factor, for Julian Alps, for mountains, for Triglav, for high mountain poetry..

46, still fresh..

I was on Saturday at Škrlatica, the path there is dry, whatever snow is left is completely soft, mushy, in small patches. Those screes that are still covered with snow are also soft, so possible use of crampons is completely unnecessary. I think similarly on Veliki oltar, at least judging from the top of Škrlatica. In Kotlu Rokavov there is still snow too, in my opinion equally soft.
