How to pack a backpack for Triglav
The warmer days are approaching and the season of conquering summer peaks is upon us. Most of us enjoy the mountains and it is hard to imagine weekends without them. Everyone wants to conquer Triglav, which can be quite a challenge for someone less experienced. At the same time, in the summer we can see groups of people climbing up with huge backpacks and every time I wonder - what are they carrying up there?
Maybe they are smugglers, who knows. Since I personally come from a mountaineering background and have climbed more walls than I have conquered actual peaks, I also have some experience with how to pack a backpack effectively, and especially what you actually need and what is superfluous. First of all, you need to know your body, so before every longer climb it is recommended to do a few fitness tours to see where you are and get to know yourself better - if you haven't already. The most important thing is drink, for a one-day mountaineering tour I usually have one liter of drink (isotonic, effervescent tablet or just homemade mint juice). Before that, in the car, I try to drink at least half a liter or more of a similar liquid and eat a sandwich.
During the tour itself, I drink in small sips, even though that deep and long sip is often very tempting. With each sip, I also swish the liquid around my mouth to moisten it and thus reduce the feeling of thirst. Then I have a few chocolate bars with me, I'm not picky, I choose the ones that are good for me.

I don't usually carry a sandwich, but it's not harmful if you have one and eat it at the top of the hill. My clothing system is always the same in the summer: long, thin pants; a short T-shirt (for four years nothing but SportHG), a long T-shirt with a zipper and a thin windbreaker waiting in my backpack (no bigger than 20l), in case of a storm or other worsening weather.
I always wear low-top hiking boots, sometimes I also used running shoes, but I ruined them very quickly, so I prefer to stick to slightly heavier, but at least longer-lasting shoes. For Triglav, if you are not experienced enough, you also need a self-belay kit, a climbing harness and a helmet, all of which you can easily put in your backpack so that it is nice inside and not so that half your clothes hang out of your back and sag left and right, as many people do.
Pace is also important, your step must be well-aimed at the ground each time, so that you don't waste energy unnecessarily and stumble under rocks. You can also take various accessories with you, such as sunglasses and sunscreen, but I almost never practice this myself, except on the glacier, which is no longer on Triglav anyway :(
SportHG clothing itself is excellent at preventing dangerous UV rays from burning you.
