Že na parkingu je bilo slutiti, da bo veliko ljudi, kljub temu da so za popoldne napovedane že padavine. Vseeno – prekrasno modro nebo. Po avtocesti ob množici ljudi na Viševnik, potem pa po grebenu do Srenjskega prevala. Na začetku vzpona na Mali Draški je šlo lepo, relativno trdo, vedno višje sem bil, bolj mehko je bilo. Zadnja polovica je bila čisto južna, in vzpenjanje je bilo naporno. Po stopinjah na vrh Malega draškega vrha (pozor na opasti), in spust po smeri vzpona nazaj na Srenjski preval. Spust je bil precej naporen zaradi ojuženega snega, vseeno pa se je tudi dalo zavijati – z bordom (sem bil pač par ur, oz. par dni prepozen). Je bila pa potem s prevala proti jezercem čista uživancija… Vglavnem, snega je še veliko, velja počakati na boljše razmere…
Z Radotom in Matjazem smo se na eno prekrasno soboto sprehodili na ?skoraj? dvatisočak Rodico. Avto pustili ob koncu Suhe, z drugim avtom pa do spodnje zicnice Vogla in nato sprehod po smuciscu? No ja, ko smo prisli do Orlove glave, je Rado omenjal se 1 uro in pol hoje? I wish? Malo se je zavleklo vendar vseeno lep izlet na prekrasen dan.
First time with Rado this year. With Rado and Matjaz we went to Rodica, nearly 2000 m high mountain that overlooks Bohinjsko jezero . Some extra panoramas are also great…
Well? this ascent isn?t technically and physically difficult, but it can take a few hours? Especially, if you are unfit. Its nothing like in excitement as Jalovcev ozebnik that we did last year. Anyway, excellent day, good snow conditions?
When you arrive to Tamar valley, at the end Jalovec is boasting, and almost resembles to famous Matterhorn. http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/1285 At the first April saturday, on a beautful day, i decided to go skiing with Rado to Kotovo sedlo pass. Kotovo sedlo pass ranges up to around 2300m above sea level, and has great conditions for spring skiing, even in late june.
Despite high temperatures, there is enough snow on road in Tamar valley, so it very difficult to drive in. Before getting to the hut at the end of the valley, you first need around one hour of walking (though my father fortunately shortened us this walk, with driving us quite far in the valley in the morning with his 4×4). Another hour walking from the hut, steep slopes, great for skiing, start showing their teeth (well, at least those slopes tested our stamina). At the entry to the Jalovcev ozebnik couloar we decided not to got to Kotovo sedlo pass, and rather go to “short” but steep couloar, as the conditions for skiing were great! At the top of couloar, the sun was waiting for us. Excellent. And the conditions for the descent were even better, as there was some powder snow and no ice. Still, on parts couloar is quite steep and narrow. But this day, it was in perfect shape.
This descent is marked III-, S3+, 400 m. And the ascent from the starting point took almost five hours (around 1400m height difference… Eh, we need to get fit 🙂 And we could ski almost to our starting point. Unbelievable…
Dovska baba (1890m above sea level) – well, difficult to translate, old ugly lady from Dovje. Anyway, i’m not sure about the name, but its a great hill to ascent, no matter the season. I went up there twice in the past two months. The photos are from the first ascent, in february, when the snow level was really bad – actually, only on the top – i enjoyed snowboarding down to about 1100m above sea level. Its one of those technically not difficult ascents (and almost no danger of avalanches) with nice and long downhill.
A few weeks later and after a hefty to the hill, and the conditions were just perfect – lots of snow, and i was able to snowboard down to the valley, to my house at 700m above sea level. As my start and finish points were at my house, it took me 4 hours 45 minutes to walk up and snowboard down… Oh yes, did i mention that there was fresh snowfall?
