Well, I reached the top of Skrlatica. Today towards west nice and clear, Triglav was visible too, then clouds came.
Summit book all filled up.
Didn't meet any hikers, such peace. But met one Czech with small kid. They were heading to bivouac IV.
At parking lot mostly cars with foreign plates.

How would others rate this route to Skrlatica for difficulty?
When I looked at pics from descriptions I thought it's steep, exposed path, difficult but when I was there and did the climbing part it didn't seem bad, nothing I couldn't climb, even that belly crawl isn't serious. Along the ridge it's not that narrow either. Gotta try something more serious, so far Turkish Gully, Czech Hut-Long Ridge-Skuta, Jalovec through notch and back to Kotovo Sedlo, nothing serious so far, don't know what to try to make it really interesting and serious ascent and a bit harder.
Is the path over Plemenice to Triglav harder than listed above. Maybe the path to Jalovec through notch seemed to me just one short part a bit more serious.

Try Cjajnik or other foreign vias ferratas..that'll surely be a bit harder and more varied...
by classification as we know in our mountains and my subjective opinion, this path deserves the name difficult marked path, since on part of the path you need hands and feet simultaneously to progress...
The tour might be difficult for someone only from the viewpoint that there's no hut nearby for refreshments... cheers!

Try Kopiščarjeva to Prisojnik or to Vevnica from Belopeška Lakes via Via della Vita

Try Mrzla Gora. For me personally this path was much more "tense" than the ones you mentioned and already did. Good luck! :-)

Descend to Mrzla gora, and describe your feelings. LP

Until this year Skrlatica seemed unattainable to me given my skills moving in the mountains. I remember looking at it from Stenar and shaking my head
But after climbing Kredarica-Triglav (back even in the rain) it seems to me based on pictures, descriptions and others' experiences that I could manage this beauty too. Is Vrata-Skrlatica technically significantly harder anywhere (arm strength, climbing difficulty) than Triglav? I see it's abundantly protected, the technical part doesn't last any longer.
Given my occasional vertigo the scariest on pictures looks like one unprotected narrow ledge crossing the wall shortly above Zadnji Dolek. How does it look live?

easier than kredarica-small triglav. "Problem" is the 1700 height meters and remoteness, and also no water and no hut. Marking and secured-climbing wise it's fine. The ledge, or easier scrambling is just along the ridge. When the secured part ends there's still some scrambling to the top. That's all the fuss.
It's right to have respect for such mountains, you'll judge when you're ready...

Worthwhile opinion from an experienced mountaineer, thanks. I can say you've additionally encouraged me.
I'm aware of the remoteness and required fitness and will take most of the daylight for the whole thing. Otherwise I regularly do routes up to 1500/5 hours and fitness hasn't failed me yet, so extra 200 or one hour shouldn't be too much. In the backpack of course one extra bottle as usual.
Well, thanks once more, I'll report when it's done :d

The mountain never falls; watch that you don't fall.

As JusAvgustin said... Mountain's remoteness, quite some elevation meters and no hut in between... and that's all... Regarding wires and pegs, I think Triglav is far ahead... It's a bit exposed, but no panic, I wish you sure steps, that's all!
Lp!

Škrlatica is a nice tour, nicer than Triglav and no big crowds either. And what a pleasure I had on Sunday. When you reach the scree before entering the wall, you think here it's impossible to the top, but the path is nicely laid. In my opinion, there should be a hut at the bivouac, which would benefit Škrlatica, Križ, Stenar. On one hand good, on the other better to leave it as is and everything more natural.

Yesterday was also a nice day for ascent and it wasn't as hot as today. Nice tour, just very long. And no crowds at all.
Exposed parts on pictures look worse than in reality.
Caution is needed at every step.

Boštjan34, I see you've already spotted Rokavi on the first picture. Right from Škrlatica is the easiest access to Spodnji Rokavec (2500m). From some shoulder at 2550 height, descend right into Kotel, from there you're at the top in less than half an hour.
But ATTENTION! This is demanding pathless terrain. 15m before the top the scramble reaches III. difficulty grade.

There is also another route, but that one doesn't exceed two... If orientation doesn't suit you, you'll climb even five... Rokavi are among very demanding pathless terrains and are among the top three hardest mountains in Slo.

Lower and Middle Rokav can be nicely done as a double if you have at least a bit of "nose" for that terrain and of course appropriate experience. Without rope and without belay. To Visoki though I wouldn't go without rope, that chimney already "bolted" is no joke going up, let alone down. JusAvgustin wrote exactly: top 3. Though Rušica via "normalka" seems a nuance harder to me than Lower and Middle R.

turbo, try rušica via "my normalka" i.e. piggy ro... MARTULJEK!

| JusAvgustin19. 08. 2011 20:28:37 |
anyway for škrlatica there's also a "shortcut" aka J ro... Good IV, very good...

This morning Matjaž and I headed first to Škrlatica, continued to Dolkova špica and then to Križ. We descended to Kriške pode and went to Pihavec too, checked Bovški Gamsovec on the way and returned via Luknja. Weather great, just too hot. Path without issues.
