Monte Rest

Yesterday Marjeta and I wandered around the Carnic Prealps, more precisely we visited a nice viewpoint in the south namely Monte Rest. We approached via the Friulian plain from Tarcento towards Spilimbergo and Val Tramontin valley. We started the ascent just below Rest pass. To Monte Rest pasture along the former access road, then directly up the scrub path to the summit. Views wonderful. We descended the eastern ridge and then across to the pasture and back to the car on the access road. From Rest pass we then drove north and thus nicely circled all the mountains around there.

I climbed Monte Rest when hardly anyone knew about it yet. There were no transmitters on it and the road was better too. I visited it again last year together with my wife. One beautiful day only chamois kept us company. Lp!

Thanks for this post. This is one of those paths I knew existed but couldn't find any concrete info on. Well, now I know and no more excuses. I'll go at the first opportunity.

Well, today was the time for this attempt. Sadly, it remained just an attempt. In short: I obviously managed to badly miss the key access point (where the path reaches a distinct gully along which the bolted route runs), so I first searched for the path completely wrong towards the right (yes, that's what happens without a useful description, and it's not marked on maps either) and probably lost more than an hour. When I finally gave up and wanted to return to the car, I almost by chance found the right direction and reached the via ferrata entrance. Although I was already late due to the wandering, I decided to enter anyway, then a torn cable on one traverse stopped me (judging by voluhar's photos above, pretty near the top, around the 10th photo from his article). Crossing probably wouldn't be impossible, but the terrain is almost vertical and exposed, and without a sling I didn't dare risk it. So I descended back down the via ferrata, which wasn't entirely easy, but not terrible either.
In short, here's what I can say: first, Wilderness with a capital W. Even that part around Zuc del Bora can hide from this one. Second: I was picking ticks off my pants practically the whole way. I mean, all reports from paths around mentioned it, but I really didn't believe it was that bad. Don't go without the best repellent. Third, the path is marked but poorly trodden and requires caution. Regarding the orientation loop I mentioned, just this: after the long traverse past the climbing area and through the forest to the steep rocky gully full of bolts, don't cross it! The path actually just touches the gully, the passage to the via ferrata is on the same side you approached from. There are some tracks ahead, but those are probably just traces of rare visitors who got lost here like me. And fourth: for the ascent on the via ferrata in its current state, I highly recommend a few meters of rope. Safety first.
If all this hasn't deterred you, then go ahead happily. Otherwise, to be honest, there are nicer hill corners with fewer ticks, though that has its charm too...

Orientation loop. These screes are not crossed, the passage must be found among the rubble on the left (it is marked, but care is needed).2
Finally in the via ferrata.3
Here it was still possible...4
Here it ended. Sometimes you just have to turn back.5
