Yes, I admit, born in 1966 velik nasmeh

.

So I need to change my question?

Hm... any old guy/old gal around the 50s available for company in the mountains?

For my good, let me say that I'm still in pretty good shape, say I comfortably run a half marathon.

And I never forget diapers velik nasmeh

Probably on the left side Vevnica and ferrata:

Beautiful Friday used for Via della Vita; at the junction to Vevnica we left backpacks and climbed up to it. Back to bivouac for snack and then via M.K.Mangart all the way to "big" Mangart. Descent via Slovenian route and then easy to lakes.

Hello,

has anyone gone this path yet this year?
Is it dry?

Thanks, best

MANGRT22. 07. 2014 06:56:41

For the entry part winter gear is still needed, lots of snow.

Thanks for quick reply MANGRT! nasmeh

Hello!

Does anyone have info on the condition of the path Remšendol, Mt. Schober, Vraška škrbina and down to Krnica? Somewhere I read that the part dashed on the map is hard to pass.

Thanks for reply

Hello!

Has anyone been on this path? Interested in snow conditions, state of fixed protection? Best.

Belopeška (Mangartska) Lakes – Via della Vita – Bivacco Tarvisio – Mali Koritniški Mangart – Huda Škrbina – Mangart – Mangart Saddle – over Plazje – Belopeška Lakes … (conditions 29.07.2017)

First an introductory fact – given this year's modest snow cover, there is no snow on the path anywhere. The entrance to ferrata VdV has a new and impeccable cable, further on the condition of the path and ironwork is also OK.

Although the entire path should be marked, in larger parts the marks have unfortunately almost disappeared or faded to the extent that they are barely visible. But let's praise what's praiseworthy: Italians have newly red-marked the path from upper Alp Vecchia over scree to ferrata VdV, and also the path from Mangart Saddle leading down over Plazje (Forcella della Lavina) to Jezerska Planina or to the upper lake, there they have fresh white-red "strips". On our – intermediate part of the path, at least frequent cairns stand, more or less in the right places.

Finally – a bit about the weather (general useful advice), because the wall under Vevnica is mostly in shade, foggy and humid mornings do not provide optimal conditions for such ascent, fog is even more problematic in the continuation towards MKM and Huda Škrbina, as it prevents readability of already sparse and faded path marks. Also the passage on the narrow path amid steep grass from Huda Škrbina onwards above Loška Koritnica can be quite tricky in damp conditions.

For this route you will need approx. 10 hours (without breaks!), of which about 7 hours for ascent and good 3 hours for descent.

early hour - golden hour: but end of July at five in the morning at the start it's still dark

on the upper pasture - towards Via della Vita

towards the central part of the VdV ferrata

across the so-called belly on the ferrata, where a thick chain helps

in the upper part of the path, scree below Vevnica

Before the end of the scree field to the right and across the loose scree.

junction - the most frequently photographed motif at the end of the ferrata

this young goat watched us all the time from above

at bivouac Alberto Busettini Tarvisio and view towards MKM

upwards towards MKM, following existing pegs and placing new ones

view back to the bivouac, to Vevnica, V Koncu Špica and Kotova Špica

vertically upwards - easiest with the help of the cable (but it is narrower in diameter!)

the most demanding upper part of the ascent to MKM

view back: it is good to have some strength in the arms

At the exit from the wall, view towards the MKM summit.

Towards the summit - in an easier world.

The fog was right behind our heels all the time.

At the summit Mali Koritniški Mangart (MKM), occasionally without view.

View into the Loška Koritnica valley and to the peaks of Loška stena.

Then carefully forward among steep grass.

In wet and slippery conditions, some technical assistance comes in very handy.

This is the real steepness (no camera angle adjustment).

view back: to the descent from Huda Škrbina and re-ascent through steep grasses

finally some easier ascent towards the top of the ridge

reason - why the path doesn't go along the ridge!

a little more ... and we join the Italian route on Mangart

under Mangart fog and Redbull team catch us again (via Kugy over Vevnica)

such can also be the view from Mangart (to Belopeška lakes below ?!?)

The path back to the valley is still long.

... and how pleasant the path is at the end in Jezerska dolina.

View after more than 10 hours of hiking, the fog has lifted, but clouds unfortunately covered Mangart.

Excellent tour. But I don't understand why one has to climb crosses, towers on the mountain top... zavijanje z očmi

Isn't it high enough? eek

gams130. 07. 2017 19:50:57

alyas, I always like to look at your descriptions and photos cool

, do you perhaps have any more details on the descent from Huda Škrbina, whether go down directly from the ridge or below more around zmeden

redbull30. 07. 2017 20:39:43

alyas31. 07. 2017 08:19:29

Hmm, ... usually it's like that, where it's more demanding, less photos are taken. But as said: on descent from Huda Škrbina down to the gully there are enough pegs and cables for help, also the first continuing ascent over green grass is secured with a cable.
In dry there won't be any special problems, this descent part is just very demanding, not exceptionally so. Actually from above it's harder to find the traverse, which is otherwise marked and secured. Good luck!

descent from Huda Škrbina, the traverse is (was) marked

continuation - first ascent over steep grass, a wire rope assists

dprapr31. 07. 2017 08:30:36

Maybe this photo will help, where the descent is from behind.

thanks guys for the additional info.

Via Della Vita-Vevnica-MKM-Mangart (30.06.18)

The snowfield is incredible, full winter gear mandatory all summer. Currently can't even reach the first bracket as usual. From above via the gully I somehow got there. Continuation without issues, all protections withstood winter well. To Vevnica, if you know you can bypass snowfield on left side, otherwise winter gear needed. The whole path to Mangart pure poetry, especially in such great weather. Surely not many visitors on this ferrata this year.
Good luck
