Route Description


From Priečne Sedlo turn in the north-west direction and climb up by a wide ridge to somewhere about a half of ridge’s altitude. Next turn on the left (Vel’ká Studená Valley’s side) to a scree-rocky chute, which goes parallel to our ridge. Follow this chute on a little pass in the ridge. On the pass turn left and climb a narrow edge of the ridge (here almost horizontal) on the top (45 min).
