Aljažev dom v Vratih - Rogljica (western way)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Mojstrana, then follow the signs for Vrata Valley. We continue on the toll road, which is closed to public traffic in winter, following it to the large parking lot a few minutes before Aljažev dom v Vratih.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the gravel road closed to public traffic, passing Šlajmerjev dom and quickly reaching Aljažev dom v Vratih.
At Aljažev dom, we turn right towards Škrlatica, Dolkova špica, Stenar, Križ, and Kriška stena (straight to Triglav, Luknja, Bovški Gamsovec, Pogačnikov dom via Sovatno, Stenar, Križ, and Razor) onto the path that leads us across a meadow into the forest. The path then ascends gently along a cart track, higher up becoming a gradually steeper hiking trail that brings us to a torrent bed, which we do not follow for long. Higher up, the path turns right and steeply ascends through the forest, later turning left, crossing a short scree slope, and approaching the slopes below the mighty Stenar. We soon reach these slopes and ascend through dwarf pines and past individual larches. Leaving the dwarf pine belt, we reach a small valley separating Stenar from Križ, ascending it briefly before the marked path turns right (straight to Stenarska vratca and Križ and Stenar via these gates).
A short ascent follows through increasingly alpine terrain, and about 100 meters higher, we arrive at a larger junction where the path to Škrlatica continues right; we go left towards the nearby bivouac Na rušju, Križ, and Kriška stena.
From the junction, a short easy ascent leads to bivouac Na rušju, also known as bivouac IV Na rušju.
The marked path bypasses the bivouac on the right and steeply ascends briefly behind it, then the gradient eases, leading us through karst terrain full of sinkholes, cracks, and pits. This beautiful high-alpine path offers fine views, especially of the mighty surrounding peaks, and higher up brings us to the next junction.
We continue right towards Škrlatica and Dolkova špica (left to Križ, Pogačnikov dom, Razor, and Kriška stena) along the path crossing the slopes below the walls of the lesser-known peak Gubno; here the path maintains elevation with no major changes, then upon reaching the slopes of Dovški Gamsovec, we begin traversing upwards through scree, and on the slopes of Dolkova špica, we steeply ascend towards Rdeča škrbina, the saddle separating Rogljica and Dolkova špica.
From here, we continue a few dozen meters along the marked path towards Škrlatica, then left off-trail, ascending the sharp, crumbly, and exposed ridge, detouring difficult spots slightly left. We climb the ridge to the summit, reached after about 20 minutes of pathless crumbly and dangerous terrain.
Climbing reaches grade 2 on crumbly and exposed ridge. A mountain guide is recommended.
