The 3 days of confusion was one of the first Mixed climbs in Slovenia. It's name comes from the 3 days it took us to finish it. First day, we forgot the rope at home.

On the second, we brought a bad battery for the drill.

On the third we had no spanner to tighten the bolts.

 

There are three routes besides "3 days of confusion" in this section now.

Angel M7, 3 days. M7+

and Luis Cifer M8.

 

Easy access, lots to do. Just to the left (not visible here) there is one of the most popular slovenian ice classics - the Lucifer. WI 5-

One in the line of more recent ice climbs done in Slovenia, is this one in Robanov Kot Valley. A grade 6 climb, with peculiar mushroom balconies in the middle section, offers technical and sustained climbing in nice alpine area.
The exit pitch in the Candle for Ful WI6 , a route dedicated to the memory of my late father.
Ful's bend. WI 5, 150 m. It has some story behind it's name.
On the day we made the first ascent with Klemen, we'd had a car accident. We flew out of the road on one of the bends leading towards Vrsic pass. Well, with some determination, we pulled the car out of the ditch (actually, out of the forest under the road) using multiple pulley systems. There was only one more functional door left, there was no more oil in the engine, one window was missing and the roof had a huge dent. We started it and it worked, so we drove on, did the climb and went back home rather late in the evening, at a rather moderate speed.

 

Pericnik fall in Vrata valley is a rare gem, forming every once in a while due to eastern exposure. Last winter it was perfect and It saw multiple ascents after we did it with Martin in the middle of december.

Usually it is climbable to the left of the main water current. The water makes quite some sound as well as enough moisture to make you decently wet.

Lambada was considered as one of the top level ice climbs in SLO almost for a decade since a bald solo ascent by Matjaz Ravhekar in 1991.

When it formed again in 1998, we did the second ascent with Klemen in nasty conditions that confirmed theWI6+ grade for this 50 metres high vertical pillar.

Subsequent ascents scrubbed some of its fame away. As with every climb, grade can vary greatly - last year it formed fat in WI5+ conditions.

   

The last supper is another one of high grade climbs that are formed every other year. If so.

The first ascent by two young fellows was done amidst severe hangover suffering of both of them, combined with digestional problems and vomiting.

Climbers that followed their ascent speculated, if the pollution around the base of the climb was a result of severe pre-climb-fobia.
