Route Description
Time: from Chata pri Zelenom Plese 3 h
From Chata pri Zelenom Plese take the red marked trail leading to Skalnate Pleso and after a few meters beyond a bridge on Biela Voda Kezmarska stream turn right (west) (through fence) on a non-marked, good treaded path. Follow this path, first along the south shore of Zelene Pleso, next among dwarf mountain pine (pinus mugo) and finally on screes to a high (100m), rocky step of Vel’ka Zmrzla (Dzika) Valley with two picturesque waterfalls. Ascend to a foot of the wall on the right from waterfalls to a beginning of a rib.
Climb through the rocky step following protective chains on a lower verge of Vel’ka Zmrzla Valley. Now, our rout leads by a bottom of the valley through screes and grass (follow cairns). A middle rocky step take to the left side and turn right to the foot of Cierny Stit (Czarny Szczyt).
Now, you should see remarkable, long, scree-rocky-grassy ramp leading up obliquely to Stolaczykovo Sedlo on the left and a deep, dark chmney beginning from a lower mouth of the ramp. Go up in a direction of this chimney (“Motykovy Komin” – rout 11 (TOPO). From a lower mouth of the chimney goes to the right a distinct, horizontal, scree-rocky ledge. Follow this ledge until the end, at the end traverse slabs which breaking it and up by grassy ramp on a big obliquely, scree terrace – Czarny Grzbiet.
Next, climb through rocky steps of Czarny Grzbiet to a foot of a Ciernt Stit’ summit pyramid. Here turn left on a wide, grassy ledge and climb it until the end and finally through plain blocks on a summit before the main top of Cierny Stit. From here climb down on a shallow col and up by edge on a main summit of Cierny Stit.
