What would it take to do all 82 in 82 days? By linking ridges, what were the most peaks you were able to climb in one day?
I think it is possible to do all peaks in 82 days, and I was also capable of doing it, but weather was really bad in February and beginning of March. In one month I did only 7 peaks, that was what caused the delay. The highest number of peaks I climbed in one day is 5. 

What was the hardest of your climbs – physically? How about psychologically? Emotionally?
There were several hard climbs that I mentioned before. Maybe the most demanding for me was Weisshorn because of the bad weather, zero visibility, and really bad snow conditions. I was alone, and from the valley up, I had to cover 3100 m mostly in deep snow. 

What did you do to prepare?
The most important thing in this project is experience. I’ve been climbing since 1995 and in these 12 years I climbed a lot of routes in Slovenia and several expeditions that gave me enough experience. Before the beginning I was training in Slovenian mountains and running around my home. Logistics played a very important role. 

How important were friends to this endeavor? Did they drive you around and help cook, or were you often alone in these tasks?
Without my friends I couldn’t succeed because I couldn’t find a partner for the whole trip. They came from Slovenia for few days, and we did one or two mountain groups together. Then they went back and another one came. I did the cooking and driving mostly alone. 

What was the most frightening moment you had up there?
There were several frightening moments and few times I made some mistakes, but I was lucky enough that I didn’t end as Berhault. 

Q: You were often waiting in parking lots at ski areas and in the high mountains – how many days were there when you couldn’t climb? What did you do then – hang out with the tourists, get a coffee?
I think that I did around 55 to 60 days of climbing. On the other days there was bad weather or dangerous snow conditions. On those days I was just waiting, checking the weather forecast every 10 minutes and window-shopping. Those were very long days. 

How many hours were you sleeping at night? How has this impacted your body – physical health?
During the beginning of winter when the night was long, I slept quite a lot. On bivouac in Arete du Diable I was in sleeping bag on a ledge for 16 hours, because the day was very short. When the day grew longer I didn’t sleep that much any more. One of the hardest things was getting up around 3 am day after day. 

Q: Tell me some about the ridge connections you did, and the conditions you met up there? How hard were the winds blowing?
There were many hard ridge connections, some of them where in very bad conditions with a lot of powder over the rocks. That’s why I was quite slower than I would be in summer. Wind was very strong whole winter. Sometimes I had to turn around just because of the wind. On Bernina, for example I couldn’t walk straight on a glacier because of the winds. On the ridges wind was even stronger. 

How much snow and ice climbing did you do, versus rock?
It was all more or less mixed terrain, except of the ski peaks. 

Did you ever hallucinate, and if so, what did you see?
I didn’t hallucinate. 

What are you doing now, to rest and recover, or to prepare for more climbs? You must be very fit….
Mostly resting, sleeping and eating (too much). I was very fit on the beginning and in the middle but at the end I was also very tired. I think my body needs some rest. I’ll do some sport climbing and easy mountaineering in near future. In July I’m going in Russia.
