Apologies for the pointless late answer. I didn't receive many messages before leaving for the hut, and the internet connection was very poor at the hut. I did the Slovenska smer (III), which 100% crampons and ice axe needed.
I saw people going up in trainers (I couldn't believe it). The same ones turned back at the first few snow patches. There are places were a slip is fatal, regardles the route really. There are very steep terrain even in the easier routes i.e. Tomasinki Prag Route (aka Cez Prag) (VF3A).
I hope you all had a great time.
