spionin Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spionin Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 yeah, and so small! you can drive across in 3 hours, 2 million people (and all climbers seem to know each other), lots of options for climbing. cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
