Slovenska Route, Winter Ascent | North Triglav Face

Type: Interesting

Description:
There was little snow in the lower part, so we walked practically up to 500 m before the wall entrance. Then we put on skis and climbed to the wall entrance. What had fallen in the last days had already partly slid down to the valley, but nevertheless we were wading right from the start. It sank even over the knees. In the climbing sections, however, it was nicely clean and wind-packed, so those parts were pure enjoyment. I struggled again in the Slovenska gully, where we first put on skis but I couldn't make it to the top, as I flipped over twice backwards, put on crampons again and soon realized it was sinking up to my waist. Then I crawled almost half the gully by spreading my weight on my knees. So, please... on knees through the Slovenska gully is also a unique respect. In the Prevčev exit it was again nicely hard, but the legs were already really burning, so catching breath was necessary.
