Looking back to where we just descended from.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
When we were almost back in the valley, we could see that we were actually in a layer of fog. Brana above us.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Sliding down the scree from the Kokra Saddle was the most tiresome part of the whole climb.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
We saw a girl in only a T-shirt. Brrrrrr!Nov 24, 2009

By then the snow got heavier and wetter.Nov 24, 2009

Velika planina and fog rolling in in the background.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
A bit further down the slope the wind abated a bit and I was able to change lenses again. Velika planina in the distance.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
My estimate is that about 50 people climbed Grintovec that Sunday.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
There wasn't just one trail, there were hundreds.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Descening was much faster than climbing.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
In 15 minutes my fingers froze while taking photos, so we soon headed back down.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Soon more people reached the summit, braving the wind. Can you see snow particles in the air?Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Yay! :)Nov 24, 2009

|
Peter and I at the top.Nov 24, 2009

Looking east.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Looking south: Mokrica, Košutna, Kalški greben, Krvavec.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
And we had to brace ourselves as the wind was so strong it almost knocked us over.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Finally we reached the top!Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Kalški greben in the background.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
The last slope is deceptive: slanting at an steady angle it makes the peak look closer than it really is.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Slowly we made our way up the mountain.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Somebody was bored. :)Nov 24, 2009
|
|
The views to the southwest revealed fog in the valley.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
There was little snow on the sunny, grassy slope.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Some people were already returning from the peak!Nov 24, 2009
|
|
After putting our jackets, caps and gloves on we continued towards Grintovec.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
It had been relatively warm until we reached the saddle, but there the howling wind almost blew us over.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Yellow mist in the valley.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
In the last stretch below the saddle there were a few snowy patches.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Coming out of the woods.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
As we were making our way up to the Kokra Saddle, the sunrise colored the looming walls above us orange.Nov 24, 2009
|
|
Starting early from the Kamniška Bistrica valley meant we had to use our headlamps before it dawned above Velika planina.Nov 24, 2009
