February 2006.With all the 'competition hassle' & excitement behind us - with all mental conclusions asside - we still couldn't quite say goodbye to this years winter, as it somehow just kept calling us in. Inviting and promising sweet rewards. Just like a tempting cone of ice-cream on one of those hot summer days...
And though, at first, I didn't quite know how to respond to it's calls, I quickly managed to switch my attention as I found out that one of the true pearls of slovenian ice climbing has formed in a reasonably climbable condition. The very next day, a small bunch of us 'ice-addicts' were already burried into knee-deep snow, just pushing to get to the tempting candles as soon as possible...
A couple of cold mornings and warm(ing) afternoons
- accompanied by a series of really amazing and pictueresque ascents (the famed 7th grades of Membrana and Super slap Kosobrin in the valley of Tamar being just the most outstanding ones!!) were a really great conclusion to jet another winters bout.
Good-bye (at least for now ;)) my trusty axes and cramp's - HELLO, colourful spring!!
