A cold wind threads the narrow cut of Mlačca Gorge and the ice hangs like pale sheets from the limestone walls. You pull on crampons, feel the shaft of the ice axe bite, and the gorge narrows until every swing and foot placement counts. Morning light slides down the canyon and the guide calls the next route — the left sector for beginners, a 20–30m pitch that introduces you to vertical ice without committing to the steeper central walls.
