Does anyone know if the snow has cleared on Kal Ridge?
Thanks and best mountain greetings!

hopla3. 10. 2007 20:40:27

there's just a little snow on top, checked yesterday. g.r.

Does anyone know current conditions on the route: Krvavec - Kalški greben? Planning for Sunday anyway...
Thanks

Guest4. 01. 2008 09:13:29

Which route are you planning to take? Weather forecast for Sunday isn't the nicest.
Nice mountain greetings smile

andrej7674. 01. 2008 14:58:12

Probably Krvavec past Zvoh and on. Snow can be really wind-blown otherwise without crampons and gaiters it's probably not worth such a tour cuz you might regret all the hassles. Wind might be the biggest problem imo - today I was at Kam.sedlo and it blew me good. tongue

29.12 we were with gf at Vrh korena from Zvoh along ridge. Path is normal, no crampons or axe needed, patches hard snow mostly soft-no time to hop to Kalški greben-descended via lower easier path to Kriška planina.

Thanks for replies.
But which path?
Considering two variants: From Gospiča past long meadows (over Zvoh seems more demanding to me) or start from Pdbelce - Roblekov kot - Dolge njive...
If anyone has experience which is easier and shorter in winter, please comment.
nice mountain greeting to all and lots of nice tours in 08! wink

Guest5. 01. 2008 17:10:55

Given the bad weather forecast I'd rethink at your place ... Kalški Greben is an exceptional viewpoint after all! wink

Well anyway, in some thick fog it'll be unpleasant from any side. wink

Good luck.

Does anyone know the current condition of the road from Kokra to Roblek? Thanks for the reply.

Hello,

Has anyone visited Kal Ridge recently, what are the conditions.

lp, jure

zelezn20. 02. 2008 16:47:03

I was on Kal yesterday, conditions excellent, on crampons there was balling! nasmeh

jurc20. 02. 2008 17:09:20

Hm, would it go without crampons, this balling doesn't suit me too much. nasmeh

Biser gora21. 02. 2008 08:10:00

I'm wondering which route you use in winter for ascent to the mentioned summit? I'm thinking of going from Kriška planina via planina Koren and vrh Korena, or from Gospinca via Dolge njive. What do you recommend? Thanks nasmeh

Planinček21. 02. 2008 15:24:05

I recommend the ascent from Kriška planina to you. This path seems much nicer to me, and I've always gone this way in winter time too.

sebanakis21. 02. 2008 16:24:55

How does someone always imagine winter ascents without crampons??? Have crampons always with you, especially where it's icy and dangerous for slipping. Crampons, gaiters and ice axe belong to mandatory winter gear, so let's always have that with us. If balling forms, knock with ice axe on crampons and problem solved. And nice greeting and luck in mountains

What about the road from Ambrož to Kriška planina? Is it passable without chains just with winter tires?

jurc22. 02. 2008 10:25:13

I didn't say that I don't have winter gear with me on winter ascents, I just wondered if it's possible without crampons. mežikanje

sebanakis22. 02. 2008 14:53:52

Last weekend it was only possible with difficulty to reach Kriško. At least that's what the colleague who drove up said. Others put on chains, but I think now it's warmed up enough that it could go. If it's possible without crampons, you best see that by deciding based on the temperatures. I think it would be possible without crampons, especially if the upper crust has softened. Last time when we did a snow profile on Krvavec, the upper layer of frozen snow was very thin, so I think it would go. But take them anyway, if there is some icy patch somewhere (especially where there is shade all day). And safe and good luck.

Yesterday we went on a nice hike, from the parking lot at Kriška planina, past planina Koren. We continued the path to Vrh Korena. Here and there we encountered remnants of snow, which wasn't problematic. Then descent to Škrbina, crossroads of paths from Kokra. And then to the top of Kal Ridge. Nice hike, not too demanding.

View towards Kokrško sedlo (Cojzova koča)

Return to Kriška planina after more than eight hours with stops

jprim25. 06. 2009 19:58:22

Despite the bad weather forecast, it was wonderful in the Krvavec area and a bit higher. The path over Zvoh, Ježa and Vrh Korena then to Kal Ridge, return over Dolge njive, final station Dom na Gospincu, where it really poured.

Instead of listening to vans hauling bulky waste and some crappy music, I drive to Krvavec in the morning. Up there in an incredible 45 min from Ljubljana. Summer days are the most beautiful in the mountains after rain and it was like that this time too. I do a circular tour from Kriška planina, past Zvoh to Pl. Dolgo njivo, then to the top and descent via Pl. Koren to the start. Meadows are stocked with livestock at this time and flowers all around. The summit was rarely visited today with some 10 hikers, others were climbing Kompotelo, Vrh Korena and Zvoh. At the top at 11 I measured only 4°C in the shade, clear, later fog from somewhere. On the way back I picked a handful of mother thyme for medicinal tea. Pleasant trip for strolling! LP-Rok nasmeh
