Slovenia: Frelihov žleb in Begunjščica

Badžo and Gaja invited me to join them climbing the gully called Frelihov žleb, IV/II-III, 180 m. I said why not and we went. It took us an hour to access the gully and then the climbing part began. Details were without the snow, so it complicated the climbing a little bit, but we managed. We continued on ridge "SZ raz Begunščice" and on scree "Smokuški plaz" almost to the summit. Since we were all already on the top many times, we skipped that part and returned back to the valley via scree "Centralni plaz" - Garmin Connect.

The approach was easy, since the snow was quite hard.

  

At the entrance of the gully we geared up and started climbing. Since the details were not covered, it was quite difficult at some places.

One of the easiest parts.
