We can reach the starting point at the lower alpine pasture Valentin Alm via the Gail Valley to Kötschach-Mauthen and then towards Plöcken Pass or on the Italian side past Paluzza, and across Plöcken Pass. There is plenty of parking at the hut on the pasture. In winter the road to the hut is closed with a barrier.
From the hut we go a bit along the road, some along the marked path to the upper Valentin pasture along the eponymous valley. Somewhat above the pasture we leave the marked hiking path leading to Valentin Gates (Valentin Törl) and follow a less trodden trail that was once marked with yellow-red markers now painted over grey, however the path is still nicely traceable and brings us to Wodner Törl. From there we go into the right slopes, then along the NW side of Gamskofel all the way to the gentler NW wall. There the once-marked path turns somewhat downward, we didn't check the continuation, we had the feeling as much as we could see that the path no longer exists because part was washed away, hence the overpainted markers. But that's just a guess.
We turned there into the right slopes and among rare cairns sought the best passages. In the summit section the ascent difficulty approaches weak II grade. The entire slope is quite crumbly, extra caution needed, no protection. The route ends at the top on a small saddle, from there we went left and soon at moderate steepness reached the summit with cairn, box and logbook from 1984.
Entries are few, no Slovenes spotted. From the top nice view towards Julian and Gail Alps, and north to High Tauern and nearby Coline and Cogliansa group.
We descended along the ascent route.

Apparently we are the first after Igor's report from 8 years ago to visit this wonderful solitary Carnic mountain. We tackled it right via Zlodejeva route as we named it because the normal approach obviously comes even more from the east. Otherwise it's quite a complex adventure recommended for all who like isolated peaks abandoned paths and crumbly climbing to II grade. And some sense for scouting the right route of course.

In my opinion the route I did on Gamskofel is the easiest variant. When we come out of the red gully we continue traverse or a bit down following old marks and cairns. We'll reach the part where the path is secured with wire rope. All the way follow the signs and when we reach the scree traverse to the gully between two slabs. Climb to the grassy shoulder right up the broken ridge until we reach the upper scree. Across scree up to wall, where behind the edge we spot the gully. Up it to summit (at top of gully peg with prusik). Along ledge a few meters turn right around big rock and stand on summit with cross
