It was one of those situations when you seek spring, only to find harsh winter conditions in the mountains which resemble more to those expected in January and not in the mid-May. The weather this week has been mostly rain, bringing snow in the high mountains. Lots of it. Although snow conditions were anything but stable due to a very thick layer of new snow, our team had been planning an ascent of Triglav for this particular weekend for a long time and thus decided to give it a go regardless of the situation. Anyway, one could always turn around if conditions turned too bad, right?

Matkov škaf, a formation of snow and ice that occurs every year. Apparently the snow avalanches falling down from Mt. Mrzla Gora pile up during the winter months, and then as it gets warmer a waterfall forms instead, falling onto the pilled up snow, and creating a deep hole. That can serve as a nice playground for climbers 🙌😎![]()
