Climbing Slovenia's Highest Mountain in Gale Force Winds

The wind close to the summit was blowing so hard I couldn't see anymore.
This seemingly straightforward route had just turned into a hardcore challenge...
In September we went to Slovenia to climb its highest mountain, Triglav.
The weather forecast for the period we were there didn't look promising, so we had to fit a peak usually done over 2-days into a one-day push.
The journey to the summit of Triglav is beautiful, with views of the Julian Alps all around.
Its summit push, usually packed with crows of people was now quiet due to the extreme winds, and we couldn't have been happier that the ridge was lined with a Via system, offering peace of mind when on the thin ridges - especially when the wind gusts were unpredictable.
Climbing to the summit of Triglav is a beautiful experience no matter the weather, and one I would recommend to anyone wishing to become a true Slovenian 😉
I'm climbing the 7 Summits from sea level and to sea level, watch the video below to find out more:

Thanks Nick!

[@tomaszwozniak4343]

You guys are doing all the mountains I have on my list for the next few years 😂 Monte Rosa, Kazbek and now this. It makes me a bit jealous but at least I am getting good intel.

[@TraintoSummit]

Mateee I've been there. It's a good thing, that desire will only increase and make you appreciate the trips even more, plus the mountains aren't going anywhere anytime soon 💪

Great video. Dang, that's a beautiful mountain. I'm impressed. You guys are in very good shape! 😮 If I've ever have a chance to try for that muntain I sure will give it an honest try. With googles! 😊 Looking forward for part two👍

[@TraintoSummit]

Thanks Rino. If you're ever there definitely go mid-week, it gets super crowded at the weekends. Thanks for watching!

[@jamiebell7901]

Wow, amazing effort guys. I was tired enough doing this climb on a clear day with no winds, and sleeping up on the mountain! I agree with Viv, the last summit push is sketchier than I expected…

[@TraintoSummit]

I'm happy you got it on a clear day, the views are amazing... Thanks for watching!

[@vivcristea]
