Description

Spodnji Rokav (2,500m) is one of the lesser known peaks in the Julian Alps of Slovenia. In fact, when you also consider its seemingly hidden position, it wouldn’t be far fetched to consider the mountain lonely. And that is a shame because it is a wonderful peak, and well worth your attention, as the ascent to its summit is an exciting, and challenging, journey.

This climb will take place during the winter season. As a result, we will be dealing with weather conditions that are typical for those months. When added to the already challenging nature of the Spodnji Rokav, that makes the climb arduous at points. Thus why participants on this climb should be in good physical condition. It is also an advantage if you have prior mountaineering experience, particularly in the winter.

We will begin the ascent at the Aljazev dom in Vraith (1,015m). From there, we will spend the next 6 to 10 hours climbing and descending the Spodnji Rokav. Throughout the climb, you will have an opportunity to see what makes the Julian Alps so beautiful. We will be venturing through forests at the beginning of the climb. We will also be making our way through snow masses and grooves under the peak’s walls.

It won’t be surprising if you haven’t heard of Spodnji Rokav. However, I can assure you that this lonely peak is anxious to challenge you with a thrilling climb, and reward you with some of the most spectacular views in the Julian Alps. If you would like to join me just send me a request. I would be happy to guide you.

Would you like to climb another great peak in the Julian Alps? Then join me on this full day, winter ascent of the Razor mountain. With a name like that, you know you’re in for an exciting adventure!

Mountain Guide

I’m a mountain guide based in Bled, Slovenia. Climbing and alpinism are a big part of my life and I feel like mountains are my second home.

I was introduced to the mountains by my father, a mountain rescuer and a romantic alpinist. He made sure that I don’t see the mountains only as a sports playground but also as a place where a person can enjoy and get to know himself better.

Living in the heart of the Slovenian Alps gave me a chance to develop all disciplines of alpinism: hard rock climbing and wild ridges in the summer, sketchy mixed climbing and ski touring in the winter. I am fortunate that climbing took me on expeditions all over the world, from Patagonia to Himalayas. Since being on the higher ground is my second home, becoming a mountain guide came naturally.

As a mountain guide I want to share my passion for mountains in a respectful and friendly way. What drives me is bringing the beauty of higher mountains and alpinism closer to people who want to enjoy higher peaks but need safe guiding.

Martin is a complete professional on and off the mountain. Always willing to share insights and knowledge about alpinism and climbing and made me feel comfortable and safe at all times. Whenever I had questions before the climb he would always be quick to answer with all the relevant information. The summit attempt of the Matterhorn was a success and Martin brought joy, knowledge and energy throughout the entire process.

Martin Zumer is an incredibly skilled climber who successfully guided me to the top of the Matterhorn. I felt safe with him for the entire trip, and I developed confidence in my own personal climbing abilities with his guidance. It was a lot of fun to climb with him and learn from him, and I would highly recommend him as a guide any day.
