Access to starting point:
We drive to Kamnik and follow the road ahead towards the valley of Kamniška Bistrica. From the hut in Kamniška Bistrica we continue driving on the forest road, which brings us higher up to a crossroad, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then past Žagana peč brings us to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway, we continue on the road to the «upper parking lot». Here, by the parking lot on the left side of the road, we will notice two cart tracks. The left cart track, which is marked with signs on a tree, leads towards Kokrsko sedlo. We, however, head to the right cart track (this cart track is also on the left side of the road).
At first, we walk for some time on the mentioned cart track, from which some side cart tracks also branch off, then the cart track turns into a footpath. Further on, we ascend for quite some time on a narrow footpath through the forest. The path here continuously runs on the left side of the valley and thus avoids the steep rocky drop in the lower part of the valley.
When we come out of the forest, the path crosses somewhat steeper slopes to the right and brings us to grassy slopes. This is followed by an ascent over grassy terrain, which brings us below the walls of Kogl.
Here, the better-trodden footpath turns left towards the wall, but we continue slightly right on a narrow footpath. The path in this section is quite poorly visible and runs on the left side of the torrent up the valley. For orientation, the clearly visible waterfall of the mentioned torrent (usually without water) can serve. The footpath already somewhat before the waterfall turns left and enters the wall.
Here the path becomes very demanding and first we must climb a few meters up the almost vertical slope. This is followed by an ascent on a narrow secured ledge, which crosses the slope to the right and brings us to steep grassy slopes. Although the ledge is secured, the ascent is quite demanding. It must also be taken into account that the fixed protections are usually in somewhat worse condition than we are used to on marked paths. Further on, we ascend for some time on quite steep grassy slopes, then the slope gradually becomes less steep and the path brings us to an unexpected bench from which there is also a very nice view in all directions.
Further on, we ascend the grassy slope up to the marked path Kokrsko sedlo - Kamniško sedlo.
Here we turn left and follow the marked path, which with gentle descents and ascents soon brings us to a junction, where we continue right in the direction of Grintovec and Skuta (left bivouac 1 minute) on a relatively even path, which soon brings us to the next junction. We continue right in the direction of Skuta (straight Mlinarsko sedlo) on the path that takes us across the karst terrain of Veliki podi to the foot of a moderately steep wall. Here the path becomes vertical and with the help of natural holds we overcome a short wall between Dolgi hrbet and Štruca (in wet great risk of slipping). At the top of the ascent, the path from Dolgi hrbet joins us from the left. We continue right, where then in a gentle descent with the help of a few pegs we bypass the summit of Štruca on the left side. The path then brings us to an indistinct saddle between Štruca and Skuta, from which we ascend to the summit in 15 minutes on the undemanding summit slope of Skuta.
V Koncu - Bivouac 3:15, Bivouac - Skuta 2:00.
On the way: Bivak pod Grintovcem (2100m)
