These are the rules that "CVETO"

cveto
7.8.2014 warm greetings!
Red Bull and all others who plan to do this route.
Since I thought up the route myself and thus kind of "charted" it, I think there should be some rules. I know I should have written them right after completing the route, as friends told me. However...
Therefore whoever takes on this extreme challenge and completes it must do so on this path. Only then it counts as having done GRINTOVCI EXTREM. Otherwise it's something else.
I decided to write this because I talked to some people who asked how and what about it. As we know there are several similar challenges here. For example T10 or Tržiških 10. There rules are different: all 10 peaks in shortest time. Which path doesn't matter, even off-trail. When we did this route a few years ago with Klemen Triler (excellent knower of this route) we did quite a bit off path. Questions were also whether one could go in reverse direction, need to summit only these 14 two-thousanders. Without Velika Planina, Krvavec...
For Grintovci, rules are:
-Route only on marked paths (exceptionally due to snowfields).
-Start and finish at parking by Kalcit.
-Route in direction towards Velika Planina.
-Must take photos at start, finish and all summits.
-At all these points also take photo of clock showing time.
-At all summits sign the register book and note time.
-Escorts allowed but they don't have to be at all summits.
(I didn't have any, except from Kalška gora onwards).
-Poles allowed.
Now just go and safe steps. Route is technically very demanding. So first SAFETY! then nothing for a while, then speed.
For me this route was harder than T10, which is much more runnable. Here besides physical condition also huge mental condition and concentration needed.
Plan to put register book in inn at Planinski orel. Whoever completes will sign in. Note time, impressions...
PS. Dejan hope weather favors you, no injuries.
From what I read about your trainings I think you can go well under 20 hours. Yes, there's still quite some reserve. If you're good mountain runner and fast on rock, no problem to set excellent time.
Best Jure

Klemen ignored them
normally DOUBT exists
especially since Klemen DOESN'T dare publish data where, when, how... he broke the record
otherwise I'm not a fan of neither Red Bull nor Klemen
but justice must be !!!
Otherwise I suggest both sign up for
http://www.100utvv.si/home-sl/ultratrail100/ and see who's the bigger CAR between you
if you win you'll pocket 300e too, which I strongly doubt because competition is tough
If it's too long for you then you can sign up for Lumpi run and show there......
