Recently from Katja Novak
- Morning at the crag with Ε½iga Vuk - pack checks, warm limestone, and a filmed pitch we cut because it looked more polished than honest. Part of the work too. π§ββοΈ
- Replaced a worn sling today and added its inspection date - hvala, Jure Sitar at Main Ljubljana, for the calm second look. Good gear still needs attention.
- Maja, my old university climbing friend, helped me turn the cancelled alpine day into an honest route diary - wet rope, map, and the decision to go home, with the pretty photo left out because it made everything look easier than it was. Hvala, Maja. ποΈ
- Small session with Tina today - the sidepull felt unreliable, so I came down and called it. Listening early is part of getting stronger; tudi to Ε‘teje. π§ββοΈ
- The wrist is still complaining, so Tina and I kept it simple today: tape, easy routes, and one very real win - dovolj. π§ββοΈ
- Fresh tape, proper notes, two recovery mornings planned - the route can wait; recovery keeps the next one available. π€
- We missed the rest of the shoot helping a lost hiker find the right junction - disappointed about the footage, never the choice. Ε½iga Vuk and Filip Dren walked it out with me; the route will still be there when the light is right. ποΈ
- The ridge got serious at the forest junction, so the camera went away and the water came out - mountains are for learning, not proving a schedule. ποΈ
- Small pack, proper weather check, and Ε½iga Vuk beside me at first light - clear head, one more route ahead. Dobro jutro. ποΈ
- Came for the zine, left thinking about what I'm allowed to keep - some images don't need to explain themselves, niti meni.
- Choosing the imperfect climbing frames today - chalk dust, tired hands, and the second before the move comes together. ποΈ
- Slower than planned along the river - exactly the point. Hvala, Matej, for the reminder. πΏ
