Trip: slovenia - logarska dolina - skušnjava
Date: 2/4/2010
Trip Report:my awesome host here, in maribor - silvij, maja lobnik, and i went out to logarska again.
because here you have to stand in line to get on wi5-6 routes, we chose a later start time and a longer approach, and climbed skušnjava, a wi 5+(6), 120 m, 3 pitch route. a typical morning has been starting with a drive through tiny villages, a visit to a bakery, and a stop at a coffee bar. no real plans. we arrive, it is maybe 9 or 9:30, people start calling people, we have an espresso (some people take a shot), and a few smoke breaks later climbers start rolling in and everyone assembles into teams. awesome.
this was a great, super stout route for me. maja and i both followed silvij.
second pitch was by far the more difficult, starting with a small rampy section, up a thin curtain that felt overhanging, and up a thin veil to a plastic finish.
the pro looks really closely spaced, but it is not. hard to show the scale, BUT THIS PITCH IS 55M LONG!
third pitch was a steep but short, maybe 3+.
climbing is serious business.
real climbers have rocking mullets!
awesome day again, it burned so good.
Gear Notes:lots of light beer in green bottles
Approach Notes:about an hour up steep knee-deep pow
