Does anyone know what the road to Jekarica is like and the path further to Kališče?

Today the plan was to do a circular route with ascent via the gully to Grlo, return past Črnih vod. Ascent up the gully no problem, of course with obligatory crampons. At the start only issues due to loose sand at the gully entry. At the top of the gully removed crampons, but soon back on feet, so much snow could sell it. No markings on path, only two on the last ascent before Slemeno. Snow super for ascent and descent. At the top ideal conditions and visibility. Heard lots of avalanche releases under Mojstrovkas, so decided to return same path. On return to Grlo snow already slushy, but walking no problems. In gully at rock transitions much slushy snow that sinks deeply. One solid slip into a hole by rock, good had helmet otherwise would hurt.
Descent ended at last snow patch, ca. 200 m from road. Not much enjoyment.

Yeah dear soul, go to Rožnik, and you'll pay 1.2 euros for tea, and without receipt too.

Hi, today was on Vrtača or somewhere to the middle, on the left side of the Y. A bit higher than Palec on the opposite side. Conditions: sun and wind (within normal) to Suho Ruševje, somewhere before the turn to Y visibility 10m and wind like crazy. So after some time of arduous climbing with Miho we decided to end the ascent and descend.
Difficult descent due to wind and snow it was carrying. At Suho Ruševje even if accidentally fallen that wind would set you upright. No avalanche risk, in case of sun and no wind ideal tour.

Oh, yesterday I went over Gradiška Tour and Abram to Vojka hut on Nanos. Super tour, snow only between Abram and Vojka hut in the forest and at Vojka hut, otherwise all dry occasionally muddy. Gradiška Tour via climbing Furlan path is ideal now, real pleasure climbing up. Self-belaying also possible, especially if rock wet I definitely recommend it.

As I understood from the conversation, yesterday was supposed to be the last day they were open. I can't confirm 100%, but since they only served drinks yesterday (no more Laško, only Union), I'd say they've ended the season.
For the path, do as panda advises.

Yesterday I went with colleagues from planina Podvežak to Kocbek shelter then over Mala Ojstrica to Ojstrica and then to Kocbek hut and back to planina Podvežak. Super tour.
But I have a question: When going from Kocbek shelter further past the chapel, there is a signpost turned to the right into the wall, though there is a trodden path straight ahead. What is correct now? Though in the wall with some imagination you can see it is trodden, but no marks or blazes further, only later at the top before Mala Ojstrica.

Super!!!

Maybe you know why yesterday around 3 p.m. the SV helicopter landed around there.
First hovered over the ridge and then flew over Kocbekov dom 2x, third time landed and waited about three minutes and then flew to the ridge again. Looked like a rescue operation.
