We went through the Veliko Okno (Big Window), which felt like going through Mordor's All-Seeing-Eye in The Lord of Rings. We labored to the summit of Mt. Prisojnik and then followed the fiendish trails to the Malo Okno (Small Window), where we had to descend a vertigo-inducing ladder that made me question my sanity. Because there's hardly any fresh water (except in the mountain huts, which price it like gold), you have to carry five liters. Most hikers either do a day-hike or stay in the mountain huts, so the water burden isn't so bad. However, we were also carrying a tarp, sleeping bag, and food for three days. Climbing the treacherous ladders is a bit more difficult with a full-loaded backpack. We traversed a diabolical trail that had an extremely narrow pebble-filled trail, a steep drop, and no cable to hold onto. It seemed suicidal. Ana's hands were shaking with fear. After crossing it, she got down on her knees and cried. Going to the summit of Triglav is thrilling because we took a non-standard route. For more info: http://FrancisTapon.com
