Yesterday in sunny weather on Špik nad nosom.
The path along the ledges is nice and interesting. In the initial part of the secured path it steeply climbs the rocks. Chains are where you need them. The path along the ridge is airy, in dry windless weather no problems. At the top the bivouac offers good shelter. Everywhere full of chamois watching us and wondering at our walking and climbing techniques.
Nice regards! Venčeslav.

Pic. 1, are you sure?

Sorry, it's on the right.

Greetings! Venčeslav.

Venčeslav, judging by the fourth picture, you reached the saddle between Špik nad Tratico and Špik nad Nosom via Ceria Merlone path. Last time I descended from that saddle (pic.1) along a comfortable trail directly to Rifugio Brazza.

Yes, exactly, via Ceria Merlone. And I returned the same way. It would be great to put online a description of the direct path from the saddle to Rifugio Brazza. The ledges drag on a lot.
Greetings. Venčeslav.

You made a very loooong detour twice. From Rifugio Brazza it's not even ten minutes when a barely visible path branches off to the right (straight ahead) and since the macaronis don't know how to build cairns, we novices miss it, and it's not marked on any map. Already after about 30 meters there's a spruce with a small boulder, a couple of meters further a larch, so that's a good orientation point from afar. Of course I also found this path last Saturday only during descent from Špik nad Tratico.

Hi, has anyone been up there recently or does anyone at least know what the snow conditions are like? Regards

From the notch above Tratico towards the summit some snow, which is hard in current temps, higher up some more on the ledges.

We were up there yesterday (Sunday 29.10.2017) at bivouac Luka Vuerich. No crampons needed, a bit icy in places, but so little snow that you can step on dry or soft snow, which isn't so potentially dangerous for slipping. In short, a bit more caution than on dry path needed, but the conditions are still very good. Regards and safe steps.

Approach to the saddle, below the secured climbing step to the ridge...

Yesterday was the perfect day for visiting mountains. Good visibility and suitable temperature for hiking. Path to the notch above Tratico without issues. Further on more caution needed, lots of scree on the path and poorly visible markers. At the summit very nice bivouac. Didn't meet any hikers on the way. Nice mountaineering greetings.

Some yesterday's impressions from the path to Špik pod nosom. On the notch under the wall there's still a small snow patch, it can be bypassed or crossed. Path well protected, new cables, markings still poorly visible, need a bit more caution not to miss the path. Wonderful views. Lots of flowers and ibex on the path.

Best mountaineer's regards.
