Today it looks like this up to 3 larches.

Today I was at the Three Larches. Conditions excellent. Up to altitude 1700 m you go easily on dry ground, then put on crampons and without trouble left to about 20 m below the summit. Then take off crampons and go right on the summer path - not dangerous, just need to be careful. Also further (MMP) conditions excellent, just need to start early.

I was with a buddy in the bivouac Za Akom from 31.10 to 1.11.
It was excellent.. Then we headed towards TM, and towards end of scree turned right.
At top of scree we reached a trail (path) leading past Bivouac under Špik to GM.
Maybe someone knows which peak is in the picture?
Via the trail (path) to Bivouac under Špik we also returned to valley. Very interesting path.

Based on the description which is somewhat contradictory I'd say it's somewhere at Kotli.

Maybe one on that ridge ?

Though I don't believe we'll find a name for any of the little peaks (maybe some dedicated local or hunter knows it) that make up the ridge between Za Akom and Kotli, perhaps we can at least approximately figure out where the "path" led klinchy and his buddy (over the ridge in several places we notice nice game trails and traces of "natives"). My assumption is they turned too early and too right in Za Aku (if they wanted to 3M?) maybe even somewhere in the "ski" crossing to 3M but that doesn't quite match the scree mention... Well let me add two pics. First (taken below MMP) with drawn arrow of possible approach from Za Akom suggests one (or even two) variants of ridge crossing. Second taken from other side of ridge might "contain" that little peak from klinchy's second pic?

That gully I observed myself when we with Matej were ascending under Kačji jezik. In good conditions it must be alternative approach to Veliki meli-scree under north wall of Velika Martuljška Ponca and Mali Oltar. But I think šodrovec is right-lots of animal tracks that can mislead. Not rarely it happened that I ran out of "trail" in those areas.

Looks like it's there where the path over Kotli gets closest to the gully in Za Ak. So lower crossing but I can't imagine how someone on the way to larches could turn that early.

Let me clarify. My buddy and I didn't want to go to 3M. But we decided to go into the unknown. So we headed up the gully to the right. Since we found a path (trail) at the top of the gully to the Bivouac under Špik, after visiting the summit we returned under Špik via that path.
Maybe the pictures below better illustrate where we went

now don't chicken out.

Panda, if you're pointing out someone's mistakes, at least follow what they write!

To sum up... The picture shows the upper passage between the cirques. But there are at least three more

Right, Juš, up top and down there are nice passages. Klinchy, I don't have (yet) the name of your little summit, but I can tell you that you two crossed the ridge into the area of the Middle Cirque (on my photo no. 2 are, if I'm not mistaken, the boulders you passed by) and continued (each on their own) upwards towards the Upper Cirque and the summit Na pečeh ... That branch downwards towards the cirque Pod Špikom (or bivouac, as you write) you marked quite to the right (looking downwards), which I find interesting because it suggests to me that you probably took the less used variant along the right side of the passage (looking downwards) between Middle and Lower Cirque. In literature the left variant (looking downwards) through the gully is usually described or vice versa, if looking from Lower Cirque upwards that (more common) variant is on the right, your descent one on the left (emphasize: this time looking from Lower Cirque upwards) ... Anyway, now that you "know everything"  you'll easily take it next time to MMP. Good luck!

The plan was Dovški križ actually, but due to worsening weather we turned back a bit above the three larches, so next time to the summit. Early bird catches the worm again this time, as it was already very sunny on the way back. Starting point Gozd Martuljek. In the Za Akom cirque there's a lot of avalanche debris. Really huge amount of snow that will last deep into spring to the delight of ski tourers.

Today I went past Ingota Za Ak and to the Three Larches. Snow starts in the middle of the scree and there's stiiiill a huge amount. Up to 1700m without ice axe and crampons, further crampons and ice axe, which are recommended on descent (it's steep). To the larches you can go entirely on snow, which was soft but at those slopes not problematic. For me the route is much easier now than on bare ground.

Today I went to the Three Larches. Conditions fully winterly, snow hard as ice and covered with new snow. Last 100m conditions very demanding, as crampons grip poorly due to hardness, and due to new snow need to be very careful. HIGH RISK OF SLIPPING - this applies elsewhere too, especially in northern areas. In such conditions two ice axes are really useful in my opinion.

Today did the mentioned route. To the Akom bivouac the path is good, damp, of course fitting the surroundings. Bivouac was empty.
Further towards the Three Larches pure idyll of peace, as befits pathless terrain. The last part, right below the Three Larches can be a big issue, terrain very crumbly, need to be skilled at scrambling, of course no words lost on proper footwear. I chose the most suitable passages for myself (different route than described on this page) and enjoyed the views after good two and a half hours walk from the car. Gotta say I really like this path, 'cause no overdoing with cairns like on some "pathless" routes and hope it stays that way.
On descent stopped by Ingota (they were just opening) for good coffee.
Martuljek group is always the right choice when seeking peace.
Attaching some pics of path condition.
