Indian summer just the right time for fulfilling some unfulfilled project..that's why yesterday across the ridge Macesnovec – Rjavina.
Start at 5am in Kot and in under two hours at Macesnovec. From Macesnovec through passages under the ridge barrier on the Radovna side to lowest point below Dimniki. Here 300m ascent to Dimniki still looks scary but when you get under the wall the couloir flattens a bit. Climb along the couloir (II-III), harder spots with bypass right. Over Dimniki summits go to Žaga the so-called linking ridge between Dimniki and LP, whose towers really look like a saw. Below also natural window through which PP path swings to Krma side. Crossing entire saw is real psycho, towers really pointed, some collapsed, few bypasses due to exposure, so have to scramble over,.. helped myself with rope a bit, Difficulty around III. At end just below LP ridge awaits collapsed tower, tackle via couloir (III.), if no deep muddy bypass. Ascent to LP real walk compared to saw, descent classic to saddle and PP through Luknja to below Rjavina ridge. Here over all towers (4, hope counted right), not visible in ridge direction. First ascend left south side, second exposed climbing good rock above Kot. Just below tower top deep notch surprises. Over notch rope descent and probably hardest spot – chimney to exit notch (-IV). Next tower scares with near-vertical couloir ..but path found with fairly nice climbing with some details. Descent other tower side quite annoying, equipped belay but didn't use (next time nasmeh). Ascent last tower spiced smooth steep rock. On tower top finally see NE pillar Rjavina and last detail crossing notch to Rjavina ridge (weird III. eek). Short ascent, 100m flat and after 9h on Rjavina top. Long strenuous ridge you can rightfully call Great Ridge.

Yesterday (26.06.2021.) we enjoyed this wonderful ridge. To the streamlet in Kot there is a marked path, so you can head out on autopilot in the morning. After 50 m after the streamlet we went up through the snowfield under the north wall of Luknja peč and Dimnik and crossed left towards Macesnovec for a long time. On the way to Macesnovec we were surprised by a snowfield in one gully, which can be easily bypassed from below. The view from Macesnovec is unreal and overlooks the entire ridge waiting for us. Of course, the first reached are Dimniki. From Macesnovec we went the same path as if returning to Kot, so at one point we went to the other side towards Krma and thus somehow searched for the path through the bushes (!), until we reached the Dimnik rock. There we were surprised how crumbly the rock is, so at one moment before a IV jump we tied in (found an old piton) and after that everything was easier to the top (II-III). The rock in Dimniki is quite crumbly and be very careful when climbing. After that came Žaga, a wonderful narrow and exposed ridge between Dimniks and Luknja peč. Honestly, maybe it was the best part of the ridge for us ... it requires concentration and good movement in rock (II-III), maybe even too short nasmeh as well described, that the ascent to Luknja peč after the psycho Žaga is almost like a passage ... The rock is rugged and it is easy to choose harder and easier routes to the top. From the top of Luknja peči follows descent through rugged terrain opposite Rjavina rock and passage back to the saddle between Luknja peč and Rjavina ... That was maybe the worst part of the ridge for us nasmeh We climbed the first tower of Rjavina from the Krma side and then moved towards Kot. Then we went absolutely above Kot and climbed with good holds to a short exposed rock part (II-III). From the second tower we descended to a small notch (has anchor for abseil), where we climbed two narrow chimneys to the top of the third tower (IV). From there we untied and abseiled to another notch (can also climb down). After that came the last tower, which we climbed by the method siempre drito and here the rock quality was the best on the entire ridge ... pure pleasure. After that there was a short descent to the notch and a short traverse left and straight up and then along the gully to the right. Here we were already close to the top and the last 100 m of walking to the top is a pleasure nasmeh We made the descent via the climbing path from Rjavina and descended back to Kot after sunset. Nice and long ridge!

Biščkova Glava-Sr.Gora-Trta-Macesnovec-Dimniki-žaga-Luknja Peč (11.09.21)

The tough ridge from Macesnovec over Dimniki, Luknja Peč to Rjavina we've had in plan for some time. But the initial ridge that starts above Radovna interested me more first. Above Bišček it starts with its Head. The best description was made by priest Franc from Dovje, which I had printed. With Denis after a long time again on tour. Everyone complains about parking in Krma, we'll have a super parking spot for ourselves today at the winter starting point for Triglav Kurja vas 780m. It was 5.00 and we were on the go after initial 700m road to the pasture, where we turned left towards the forest track. Here on this forest path I ran to Kot years ago in a test race under Triglav. Great help was Denis's map on the mobile. We redirected upwards and started this steep ascent. Here and there we checked if we were in the right line. At altitude around 1150m there are caves with support pillars and wow, we arrived exactly there. Can't go left, must go right and up the ridge, other steepness not an option. Rocks ahead, so we move right all the way to gully and left of it up. It was still quite dark, my eyes were shining as we hit the path better than some good expert and in the dark. Denis already dreams of sunrise, but Debele Peči ridge blocks it. At Biščkova glava we were before an hour and a half from the car. We were sweating, it wasn't cold at all. Weather will be heavenly today, as for a week. Continue, either over fallen trees or nice track. Quickly at Srednja Gora, follows ascent to Trta, where the summit is known by the fire pit on top (that's the description). Somewhere there's descent from Trta to valley, which doesn't interest us. Now comes the more interesting part and that's the ascent to Macesnovec in all this wilderness. We bypass barriers in the middle more on left side, even make ascent on grass slope along nice ramp right back to ridge and from it descend right to north side all to scree. Nice description of Eva on hribi and thanks for help on some posed question. Now follows interesting jump, supposed to be IV. Sounds maybe funny, but you have to climb it in "reverse". The rock or steps are so well made that you can't go forward. You have to lean a bit with body, backpack a bit annoying but goes more than excellent. Above that direct to right gully. Above it mandatory on right side to second gully Sušica. Here we messed up a bit, when you think at the end it somehow connects or to ridge shortcut. Already way up, Denis and I tried many things, climbed and without bushes it would be VI "there". Franc had instructions to rest nicely down there. No view on anything else but three subpeaks of Macesnovec. We took out rope, because here it really won't go, so we abseiled several times to the right gully. Hour and a half went wrong here, but no problem. With right gear everything somehow goes. But true, we would already be at top. Above right gully everything logical somehow, chamois path brings to damn bushes. So much bushes here, never experienced. That last part of ascent normal somewhat, otherwise incredible wilderness and when you think you've seen everything on some ridge above Logarska then you see it's not true. Without that unnecessary climbing left of right gully we would be at top in four and half hours, like this over 6h. Two hikers said they also came pathless from stream up, that trodden path hard to compare to this. Liquid sliding down throat. Denis and I already eyes towards Dimnik. Franc probably thoughts elsewhere. Plan was whole, if we nailed first time find whole ridge to Rjavina well, but today have to skip something. At wall right at start follows four, but we bypassed a bit left. Saved belay for section a bit higher. There we were quick. I belay Denis and four climbed. From above he belays us and we repeat Denis exercise. No big deal, but from here on enjoyment to top at least for me. Nice climbing, no belays. From Dimniki on you already see saw, which nicely connects to entry in Luknja Peči wall. No need for saw, but about other easier alternative Denis and I didn't think. Rock good and damn airy on both sides. One abseil, 30m rope enough. Climb out of gully back up to tower other side and on summit rock towards pointed towers. Here really bit scary, looks like something collapses anytime. Steady very nice to end, stick to ridge, come above hole. Luknja peči wall and its rock beautiful. Heart played past dance floor all to top. Nice box of author Matjaž, with whom good friends. View back over these peaks, even Biščkova glava visible indescribable. Timewise this was enough for today. Rjavina via ridge remains for next time, as we'd descend in dark and never know what can happen at such late hour. Would probably be different story if not that hour and half wasted uselessly in morning. We descend left side down and traverse to saddle. Probably possible abseil direct to saddle, some 60m rope enough if stance made. We go to left gully, buddy down it, I climb rocks to saddle. Here we descend traverse towards Temen, which already greeted us nicely. Wave goodbye to mountains, Rjavina you next year we visit and don't skip. At bombnik drink Laško in one go and along hunters path rush to Krma valley. Thanks Francl's Sonja who cares nicely for us. Ride to Radovna all we needed at end and cold beer. This is tour, route belongs among tough pathless at least to Macesnovec. Further it's tough alpinistic ascent, without preparation for such routes unfeasible.

From Biščk.Glava-Trte all the way to Rjavina along the ridge (26.08.23)

The time was just right, and so was the weather. One of the most fascinating ridges in the Julijci, especially when viewing it from in front of Aljažev dom. We start in Radovna, where to the right awaits a somewhat tree-fallen track. You need to know the terrain at least a bit because otherwise, due to fallen trees, you won't find the nice caves at 1150m height. The lower part is collapsed, higher up it's quite OK. At Biščkova glava we arrive quite quickly, where a nice sunrise greets us. Past Srednja gora, Trta and all the way to below the upper multiple heads of Macesnovec it's not a little walk. To put it colloquially, you can't "wander off". The lines are nice and from the left side we soon switch to the right side to the scree, where we nicely tie our poles. Maybe they stay for a memory, of course we return sometime. The only four in this direction to Macesnovec poses no problems. Higher, stick to the right gully all the way to the end and search for the best passages to the eternal scrub that brings you to the top of Macesnovec. Before us are the mighty Dimniki and there's still quite some walk to the start of climbing their wall. Higher up we took the direction a bit differently than years ago. We went directly to the mighty Dimniki ridge. Žaga is nice, which serves one abseil. At each summit we treated ourselves to some drinks and breaks. For the cherry on the cake it was, of course, Rjavina. There was one abseil and one belay. At the top we get a visit from Croatian brothers. He wondered why we were so scratched? Lots of women on the path, nails and such things, no escape. After a nice break it was only four o'clock and we set off today for the first time on the marked path to Kot. At Studenec it was pleasant by the water. Good friends always come to meet you, so we were quickly back at the car. It was an exceptional tour and for now there is no data that anyone has done this ridge from Radovna to Rjavina in one piece. Maybe sometime extend to Triglav, when retired, before that probably no time 😉.
