Yesterday, 09.09.2012, we parked still in the dark near Koča na Gozdu, prepared for the tour, checked the picture menu at the hut and started. I expected a longer approach to the wall, short gentle descent through the forest, then a bit of ascent over scree-dwarf pine and rock. All slightly harder climbing sections well protected with pitons and cables, lots of free easy climbing. No snow anywhere, the area where snow lingers longest is completely dry, very dangerous and loose. Self-belay kit welcome on the cables, but on most of the route more in the way than helpful. There was some rockfall while traversing the scree below the summit, otherwise pure enjoyment on the ascent. Crowded at the top, descent via the ridge, quite a few climbers, descent through Prednje okno – via Kopiščarjeva route, here it was a bit harder, very loose, several cables torn. Given the heavy traffic, it should be maintained a bit. Hanz's route is nicer to me than Kopiščarjeva. Weather, views on ascent and descent, all great. Long, strenuous tour and certain passages very demanding for beginners.
