Approach

The starting point is the hut called Dom v Kamniski Bistrici or if the macadam road is in good conditions you can drive to the lower place of the cargo cable car on Cojzova koca na Kokrskem sedlu where you park.

a <---- Nice overview map of the area. This route is on the map, the routes number 4 and number 3.

Route Description

From the parking place you continue in the forest over the hunting path and you must be careful that you choose the right of the hunting routes. If you will start steeply ascending in the south slopes of the ridge of Veliki Greben you know that you have chosen the right one. The ridge of Veliki Greben must be on the right side of you. You will ascend on some turnings in the forest over the nice hunting path and then you will come out from the forest. You ascend over the grassy slopes and soon you will come near the famous north face of Kogel.

Now you must go on the right side of the face and then over some secured parts you will come on plateau below the south face of Skuta and here you will come on the marked route. From here you go to the right and you will climb the small face that you on the south ridge of Skuta. Then you descend some meters and continue below the SE face. You come on the crossing with the ferrata over the east face.

Then you follow the signpost for the Skuta and ferrata over the east face. This ferrata is not very hard but you must be careful on some places. First you cross the east face and you climb over the some steep plates and then you come in the south face and over it to the top of Skuta.

You can descend by the same route or over the route that is called From Cojzova koca na Kokrskem sedlu and goes by hut Cojzova koca na Kokrskem sedlu (1793m).
