Some patronizing notes about equipment are really getting on my nerves already. The post was humorous. If you don't get it, just don't reply. Information is there, pictures too. Conditions are shown. Thanks 'Nehodimvhribe' for info.

Regarding current conditions, the objective dangers on the Krma-Kredarica tour are no greater than the ascent to Viševnik. SamoK, Climber91 - is there anything special on the path in the last few days?
Triglav is another story, but Filip111 asked about Kredarica.

Up via Presedlaj, down via planina Dol.
Very little snow on the path, winter gear stayed in and on the backpack. The frozen track for descent was most annoying, plus large amounts of leaves on the path hiding various ankle traps.
Up top sunny and spring-like warm.

Above the landslide I left a sling on a solid rock for abseil. Need at least 20m rope. No easy bypass.
At the crossing from Kanja saddle one cable has pulled-out starting peg. Also higher above landslide one peg quite loose. Rest of gear OK. Both routes from Planina Zapotok well marked. On easier route still snow, but no winter gear needed.

On Saturday I was on Great Altar. Friday afternoon after work to the bivouac. The path from Poldov Rovt is without features, locally spring-crowded. Bivouac is nicely arranged and clean, sleep was excellent. Snow starts above the bivouac, lower it can be avoided. Rokavska Škrbina is nicely filled in. To Grlo it goes even without crampons, in the gully to the summit full winter gear is necessary. There's still plenty of snow there, but it was already soft on the approach. The wall is otherwise dry. I was at the summit at 8am, but weather was already deteriorating. On return the consolidated snow in the gully was already unpleasantly sliding. Carefully but steadily I escaped to the valley, then to well-deserved beer and lunch. On the way back I fixed a couple of cairns. Surrounding mountains had few visitors, hikers I saw only on Šplevta.

I've taken mine there many times. The trail is suitable for spring "easing into climbing" in a wonderful environment. Technically harder than Slovenska na Ledine, exposure greater in places.
Best to go check it yourself and decide - up and down takes less than one hour, meanwhile rest of family can catch sun rays at Camp Tura by parking.
Helmet, self-belay kit and short climbing rope for small kids mandatory of course. Good luck!

On Friday afternoon at the parking lot in Krma, I lost a GPS navigator with some tracks I wouldn't want to lose. I reward the honest finder. Call me at 041744286.

Waterfalls in Pekel are formed. The third one is a bit candlestick-shaped, the fourth has thin ice in the upper part and not many belay options (as always). Ice is hard due to low temperatures, climbing enjoyable.

Congratulations on the successfully implemented project, and also thanks for the positive thinking and energy that you spread around.

No, not much ice at these temperatures. There was some just before New Year, but only a couple of days. Maybe again if it really freezes...
The bridge is above the 5th waterfall, below it you cross the water on stones. If there's lots of (flowing) water, you can't. Maybe some local knows a "bypass" on the right, but it looks pretty steep...
