Spodnji Rokav, Julian Alps, Guided Winter Climb

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.
