About Pavla Jesih

  • Pavla Jesih (May 10, 1901 – December 12, 1976) was a Slovenian mountaineer and female entrepreneur.
  • She was born in Ljubljana and learned to climb with Slovenia's Club Skala.
  • In 1925 she and Dana Kuraltova completed the first Slovenian all-female ascent of the Slovenian Route on the north face of Triglav.Between 1926 until 1933 she made 18 first ascents on technical routes on peaks such as Triglav (variant through the window, Skala direction, Jug Pillar), Å krlatica (Levi Pillar, Scale Pillar), Å iroka Pec, Å pik (Å alek direction), Å ite, Travnik, Frdamane Police, Jalovec, Rakova Å pica, and some others.
  • She most often climbed into the company of Miro Marko, Milan GostiÅ¡a, Jože Lipovec, Mihe Potocnik, Stanka TominÅ¡ek, and Joža Cop.
  • She is perhaps best known for climbing the central Triglav Pillar, now named Cop's Pillar (Copov steber).
  • On the third day of her climb on Cop's Pillar, Pavla became too exhausted to continue, and so her partner Joca Cop finished the route on his own and then went for help.
  • When rescue arrived on her fifth day on the route, Pavla climbed the route on her own without assistance and gained credit for the first ascent alongside Joža.In 1933 Pavla fell 30 meters (98 ft) on the craggy peak of Mojstrovka.
  • During her long recovery during the Second World War, she opened a successful chain of cinemas in the Drava Banovina and Yugoslavia, she owned the cinema hall Metropol and the Union cinema in Celje, then in Ptuj, and finally the Matica cinema in Ljubljana.
  • Among other things, she was also an innovator in subtitling techniques.
