lynx, sorry for ignorance I don't understand this sentence of yours.

True no one forces you to read, but still sometimes you read one and before you realize it's one big spoiler, it's too late.

What big spoiler, what is that?

lynx8. 10. 2012 14:55:30

Spoiler is maybe "kvarnik" in Slovenian? Short movie trailers are often crappy because full of spoilers and reveal too much story.
They kill the experience, in this case the exploratory potential.

Given that many of our "pathless" are well-trodden paths with sawn bushes or even markers, I can't fully agree there's not too much traffic. But of course thin line if we don't want old paths to overgrow completely.

Dprapr, bravo from my side too. mežikanje

And since you tease with the word about the very nice ridge approach to Luknja peč, I'd ask about its difficulty (more than II)? Anyway those ends are a bit known to me too and I must add that the royal stage of PP path up there is still one of the nicest tours in Julijci overall!

About threatening pathless routes.
I always find it interesting when debate turns to this. I'm also a sworn pathless guy, because this way of visiting mountains seems most authentic to me. But don't misunderstand. I have nothing against markers. I too started discovering mountains that way. Then wilderness took me. Not someone else. And that's fine. To each his own. Important is satisfaction from the experience, which is subjective. In wall, pathless, marked summit or hike.
But true, we mountaineers are huge egos. And that's why so much (unnecessary) friction.
Heh.

To meet someone in some 'real' pathless... Well, for some pathless is already trodden path through Repov kot.

Best regards.

On Skutnik and Špičica e.g., really hard to meet anyone up there. On Obljak, stone's throw away, no crowds either. On Griva, stone's throw other way, haven't met anyone yet. And there are countless such corners - everyone has his own somewhere in a special spot under the ribs recorded mežikanje

Volk, the ascent to Luknja peč doesn't exceed II. degree!
The most "scary" is the crossing from the notch to the wall right (pic 7), but no way exceeds that degree.
Since you mentioned Repov kot, on Friday I didn't meet anyone there either. Maybe missed someone, fog was such I even missed the turn to Zeleniške špice. Since it started lightly raining, I continued to Planjava on nice trodden path. Otherwise first time around there!
Best

Many thanks, dprapr. So the dreamy princess is back on the visit list.

All the best.

Hello, can anyone advise a faster and easier access to Dimniki summit from Kot valley? Is the easier path via saddle between Dimniki and Macesnovec or via window, i.e. saddle between Luknja peč and Dimniki?

JusAvgustin11. 09. 2013 17:34:13

Through the window it's a stroll. From saddle between Macesnovec and Dimniki you climb!

wsbase16. 09. 2013 12:14:27

Thanks. Is there perhaps a path directly from Krma?

JusAvgustin16. 09. 2013 12:20:22

Strongly not recommended...

lynx16. 09. 2013 12:28:48

From Krma it's probably the easiest, but it's the exact opposite of "direct".

JusAvgustin16. 09. 2013 12:34:33

There is no path from Krma to Macesnovec!

zippo16. 09. 2013 13:06:29

lynx probably meant the nice path from Kot, right?

lynx16. 09. 2013 14:42:46

No, I meant for Dimniki (via Temena), which was the original question.

JusAvgustin17. 09. 2013 06:06:05

To resolve the dilemma right away... There is no direct path from Krma to Dimniki, nor a path to Macesnovec from which one can then ascend to Dimniki. Of course one can go over Teme, but then it's no longer direct, as you cross the J slopes of Rjavina and ascend past Žaga to the ridge and main summit of Dimniki. Descend the same path or through the window along the ledge to Kot, another option is to find anchors for descent in the northern slope of Luknja peč and descend three times on rope to the ledge. There is also a descent directly to Krma (from Macesnovec) but it is strongly not recommended. I prefer not to describe it here. The descent runs constantly on rope. If you really want direct from Krma to Dimniki you'll need to wait for winter and favorable conditions!

Best regards

Yesterday with Matej and two Andrejs on the ridge, starting in Gubah. Leisurely stroll along the ledge and then through the window to Dimniki. Then back to the foot of the Luknja peči ridge and descent below the Rjavina towers. From PP to the ridge and then picking and bypassing the towers to the top of Rjavina. Back in these parts again. With Matej second time at Mojstrana saw, Andrejs first time. None of us last time. On the way we met a fellow forum member, whom we greet nicely... Shame he didn't go with us to the end. We actually hooked Revež to our ascent along the ridge to LP. Well, he didn't regret it and he'll hook onto the rope again, if not sooner then in the Slovenian... mežikanje

In short, Prečko left us at the spot where we climbed to the ridge and continued to Teme... We also met Marko, who crossed the ridge for the first time, caught up with us at the detail where we then got to know each other better. Great tour, even greater ending at firerju 15 hours later... nasmeh
