Look at the pretty arete. And stunning views! I have been waiting for too long to come to this places - although at home, still kinda out of my ways up until this winter.
Greeting a new day high above the Vrata valley en route to Gulce Col.
Snow is scarce this winter. Stil - for a tour like this a bit more would be too much.
we reached the col quickly on the hard snow.
An old chamoix, regarding us from his unreachable stand
Under Skrnatarica, the first peak on our way.
Occasional gust of wind easily threw us off balance. Yeah right!
Primoz, tempted to stay out in the sun.
Mt Rokav and the high Skrlatica (the purple mountain) in the back. .
sawtoothed ridge of Siroka pec. (the wide cliff)
 Parts of the ridge are quite wide
 
   
  Panoramic view of Triglav north face. The Dream couloir has almost no snow...
Other parts demand a certain degree of climbing skills
 
 
 

Magnificent view of Martuljek group from Dovski Kriz. These summits were purposfully left without marked paths. It is a sanctuary of wilderness.

End of fun.
Where to next? In this kind of a winter, what could an ice climber do? Travel to Canada?...that's a thought...
