The Day I got Locked out of a Mountain Cabin...

[@tomasberka2124]

It was quite sad to watch...the closed bivouac hut after all your effort of getting there and doing all the digging. The more I appreciate your attitude & mindset; do not let these minor setbacks discourage you! Keep up the great work. I am already looking forward to your next adventure!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you brother! 🙏❤️ Yeah, it was quite depressing… especially since it was the second failed tour in a row… But that’s gonna make the next tour even sweeter, so I’m looking forward to it 🙌

[@EscapèdGirrafe___478]

@@andrazegartwhats the consequences on breaking in one of these ….suppose to be life saving right

[@flumepeak]

even an adventure that doesn’t go to plan is still an adventure!

[@andrazegart]

I totally agree! Usually those are also the most memorable 😀

[@jcee2259]

@@andrazegart I prefer fewer as it only take over fatal error to halt further remarks.

[@SkippyTarbuckle]

Adventure can go to epic, real quick sometimes lol

[@Pomi3001]

It's really strange they simply lock the bivouac, particularly in the cold part of the year. It could be life saving even with the door broken or whatever.

[@andrazegart]

Yeah, I feel the same way… I could think of so many other better alternatives to temporarily fix the problem and still make it usable in emergencies 🙃 But who knows… maybe there was no other option :)

[@dtofant5]

Malo si zamudil, pred enim tednom so ga popravili in sedaj je bivak odprt.

[@MrRahimhosein]

@@Pomi3001 this is true. If it were an emergency I would break the glass and get in that way. Id rather pay to replace the glass than die

[@flyingwambulance]

@@MrRahimhosein Although it would let in the cold and wind which is something you might want to protect yourself from.

[@adrian.inthewild]

1200 meters up and then down in one go, partly in the dark, after shoveling/ battling with the ice and the deception of a second missed hike, and finishing with a cold bath by night, much respect. Makes absolute no sense to lock a bivouac, whatever the reason... Love your videos and spirit. Can't wait for the next one.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! 🙏 It sure was a hard hit when I found out it’s locked. But the cold plunge wasn’t as bad as it seems, because the other option I was debating was sleeping outside the bivouac on rocks… in a summer sleeping bag haha.

[@adrian.inthewild]

@@andrazegart haha yes I would have chosen the cold bath too 😅

[@Streetpreaching7]

Your attitude and mental health are strong. Even though it was locked 🔒 you stayed calm and positive. ❤ keep up the great videos

[@DJMyMhouse]

Hi Andraz, such heartbreaking story. The bivouac is really beautiful. I've been there this summer and still amazed that it is put there just like that for free. It shows great community spirit and reinsures me about my decision of becoming PZS member, though not living in Slovenia. I gladly give back to the climbing community with this spirit at least in this way :) And you have all my respect by going down the same day. The way up just used all my energy for a day and I was taking breaks about each 10 steps on the last scree-field :D You're our king of the mountains. Btw Skuta -> Grintovec through Dolgi hrbet is really beautiful route, though probably too easy for you :D But if you want relaxing one, I believe it would make nice video.

[@cassiendecabral2690]

Recently started to watch these. Nice and simple without a ton of useless stuff. Thanks!

[@AlexandreCrz31]

Wow, your videos are absolutely incredible! I'm a huge fan of mountaineering, just like you, but I'm still too young to fully pursue it. Watching your adventures is so inspiring, and it fuels my passion for the mountains even more. Keep up the amazing work, and I can't wait to see more of your epic climbs!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! It truly means a lot to hear that 😊 Don’t worry, you’ll get there when the time is right 🙌 I wish you all the best brother!

Man I love your "that's life" attitude, you don't cave..cook some meal and go back where you came from... as well you are incredibly fit which helps.. for a ton of people it would be utterly frustrating or catastrophic to stand in front of locked doors. Keep up the good attitude it will serve you well for the years to come!

[@ماهرفايد]

I didn't expect such surprise😢 but you're really handl it well🎉

[@ElementofKindness]

My inquisitiveness would have found the reason why the door wouldn't open. As long as it wasn't intentionally locked, I would have found a solution.

[@stuart8663]

You have a wonderful attitude!

[@benedictearlson9044]

Andraz yes this was a pain but you need mental fortitude to survive bad situations in the mountains, work on your positive outlook, make every negative a positive and expect the unexpected. You missing the cave tour on the way down shows you were over-thinking this hicup, stay in the moment, be safe and keep being awesome. The swim was great would love to see more of that very tough thing to do.

[@Caelus8]

Nice editing, spectacular views, good english and explanation of the situation.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you!! Much much appreciated 🙏

[@al3k]

with structures like that, they should always allow an emergency or fall-back entry point, just in case it's needed at times like these. you can say it's officially closed for insurance purposes but no need to be so heavy on the locks...

[@benedictearlson9044]

I'm guessing a second entrance on another side incase there's a wall of snow at the door would be a good idea too.

[@yogibob7029]

I relate to usually getting shutdown, perhaps it lets us be more patient haha

Imagine locking up a emergency shelter. What kind of person made that decision 😅

God knows what was going through their mind… but maybe there was no other option, so I try not to judge too much :)

One thing I don’t miss about Switzerland and other climbing countries are the One Way x Two way roads! I was always terrified we would meet someone coming down the road towards us at speed faster than their brakes would stop them!

[@johannes_landgraf]

You are such a badass! I love how calm and collected you manage to stay when things don't go your way. Also Slovenia seems like such a beautiful country, I'm actually planning a trip there now because of your videos. Are the mountains very touristy at all? Stay safe and keep it up mate, you're awesome!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for all the kind words! I’m very happy to hear I inspired you to visit 😀. Well that totally depends… for example Triglav in the summer is always very crowded, so I do not recommend it, because there are plenty of other less popular peaks with even nicer views that don’t get much visits. You can see route popularity on Strava heatmaps (sadly only with a paid subscription)… For route planning I recommend hribi.net and maPZS. You can find all of the peaks and all of the route difficulty on there :)

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

You are a better man than me. I would have broken into the bivouac. And, a question crossed my mind. Why would they have a door open out, instead of in, with all the snow they get there?

[@karanveerprasad6981]

You are amazing 👏🏻

[@jcee2259]

I hate snow. Because it conceals where Karst has a pit entry. Jolted by a knee-deep unexpected drop adds to an education. Fatal fall depth discovery makes other people unhappy. I winter camp when into Karst. Apart from glacier caves and lava tubes I often find limestone caves are warmer than outside.

[@MarkH10]

So poorly conceived. You DO realize I hope that the freezing shut misfunction is also possible when you ARE inside, and want to leave. This seems to be built by some real flat lander dummies.

[@errzikillo]

I know me and my friends and we would have tried to break the door down... You made the right choice.

Hahahah. In an emergency I would too!

Great video even though you got unlucky with the cabin again.. would you ever consider doing a gear video? Going through what you normally use, giving some tips, etc.?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you 🙏 I have gear reviews in written form on my Patreon. (Link in bio) And I don’t plan on making a video on that topic, because most of my audience probably wouldn’t be interested in that, so I rather spend the time creating these climbing/camping videos :)

[@Bradipop1]

Here, whoever built the shelter made a huge mistake by building an entrance door that opens outwards where, as we can see, it can be blocked by snow and ice!! The doors of those shelters, like the toilets on board boats, should always open inwards!

[@doughobbs7706]

At least the weather was on your side - it could have been terrible weather!

[@andrazegart]

Thank you for the positive vibes! I totally agree. The up close encounter with chomois was worth all the efforts :) Spoiler alert…the next one doesn’t exactly go according to plan either hahah. but at least I got to see the sunrise… (coming soon).

[@anikagorjup8933]

Ohh no😆 now I'm all curious what happened, but don't worry we love watching it either way

[@waawaaweewaa2045]

That seems like bad policy to be closed over a minor inconvenience like a door issue. I'd send a letter to the park that it is a safety issue to not offer 24/7 access to the hut unless it is an extreme circumstance, like a structural issue that would make it dangerous to stay in the hut. Someone could die because of this idiotic decision to shutter the hut over a door malfunction.

[@glennwatson3313]

I think I would get into that cabin one way or another.

[@Zaiv3r]

I have a question, how do your find the summit you wanna do solo ? Do you what any recommandation for people who want to do solo ?

[@andrazegart]

If you have to ask that, then you probably shouldn’t do it solo :) Gather some experience first, and then you will know when it’s okay to go solo.

[@VeritySnatch]

theres no key hole. wheres the lock?

[@Byzs]

Nice video! Hey, can you recommend any website to look up trails in Slovenia?

[@andrazegart]

Thank you! I would recommend maPZS and Hribi.net. Strava is also great for creating offline routes… but you need a premium subscription.

[@MS6Jay]

Can you go back and do it again ? The door should be fixed.

[@Supernaut2000]

I see that the hinges are on the outside of the door. I would have popped the door off the hinges and gotten inside.
