For some time, I had planned the ridge between Škrnatarica and Dovški križ, but Bagi's report tempted me to tackle it via the cirque Med plazmi and Tičarica. On Wednesday at 5 a.m., I started from Poldov rovta, still in the dark to the junction of the Rdeči potok, Brinje, and PP paths, then along PP to the cirque Med plazmi. On PP, one needs to watch to climb high enough in the second gully to catch the path on the other side. I went too horizontally, so I hunted up and down for a while to catch it. From the cirque Med plazmi, then directly upward beside and through the gully to the rock wall that closes the cirque halfway. Bypass it on the left and continue ascending to the picturesque rock pile (above it the cirque flattens, then rises toward the Škrnatarica–Dovški križ ridge), from which we ascend scree and gravel to the right toward the wall, where we reach a distinct and wide grassy ledge leading around the hill. On the ledge, we then encounter a few jumps that can be bypassed. On the other side, a steep little valley opens up toward Tičarica and Škrnatarica. The terrain is quite steep and slippery (grasses); if heading to Tičarica, watch not to go up the slope too early (in that case already ascending toward Škrnatarica), but traverse upward toward the middle of the valley and then up the other side, where we steeply ascend to Tičarica. From Tičarica, continue along the ridge toward the mighty rock mass Pšenk, the start of the Škrnatarica ridge. At that point, I did not go left to Škrnatarica, but under Pšenk's walls along comfortable grassy ledges traversed right toward Gulce, as I also planned Kukova špica. The traverse runs almost horizontally at the height of the Gulce saddle, directly under the wall; only one spot is somewhat more exposed, otherwise very comfortable. When reaching the scree under the couloir of the "normal" route to Škrnatarica, cross it to the Gulce saddle. On Kukova špica at 8 a.m. I checked the couloir to Škrnatarica and found it completely dry (no winter gear, as I knew except that couloir the rest of the planned route was dry; if the couloir were still snowed in, I would return under Pšenk and continue to Škrnatarica from there; this is a comfortable variant for anyone not wanting to struggle through the couloir, especially on descent). The couloir was not as loose as expected. The two jumps are not too demanding. A special chapter is, of course, the approach to the Škrnatarica summit. Having descent gear and knowing I could get down anyway, I climbed to the summit (left side of the rock). I myself descended without harness and rope. For descent aid, a thin auxiliary rope is available on the right side, currently in fairly good condition; everyone must judge for themselves. Anyway, ascent to the very summit of Škrnatarica is not mandatory for continuing the ridge. The ridge to Dovški križ can be spiced up according to needs and abilities. The south side is mostly not extremely precipitous, but quite wide; still, some moderately exposed traverses, up-and-down jumps in notches are unavoidable. Not knowing exactly what awaited and how long it would take, I followed the easier southern variant where there are some cairns (next time more directly), then en route climbed intermediate peaks to admire the Amphitheater. Surprised to arrive at Dovški križ after one hour from Škrnatarica at 10 a.m., despite a really slow pace. Having plenty of time, I also did Oltar, spiced with ascent and descent over the slab notch (not the right bypass). On Oltar at 11:30. Descent from it as usual tedious (slower than ascent). Did not go to bivouac, as the scenic descent over Brinje "stuck" with me. Must say the Brinje descent was very comfortable. The lower part over Rdeči potok always drags for me. Over Brinje too, a substantial part descends scree, not as long but in much better condition. Then down a soft grassy pathlet; from Brinova glava, due to steepness, very quickly down. At the car exactly at 14h.
