V Koncu - Skuta (via Žmavčarje)

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 takes us higher to a junction, where we continue straight (right Jermanca, starting point for Kamniško sedlo). The road then takes us past Žagana peč to the parking lot at the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kokrsko sedlo.
Driving from the Koča in Kamniška Bistrica to the parking lot V Koncu is now forbidden (traffic sign), this extends the path by a little less than an hour.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the cargo cableway we continue on an increasingly poor road, which after 10 minutes of walking turns into a cart track. The cart track at a smaller boulder covered with moss (large rock) turns right. Right at this spot we leave the cart track and continue straight (left gamsov skret) on an initially poorly visible path, which later steeply ascends in switchbacks. The steep and in wet slippery dangerous path leads us across steep slopes, which are secured with steel cable at some places. The steep path, which also crosses a few gullies, takes us higher to a less steep slope. After a good hour of walking the path takes us out of the forest, where it starts to ascend steeply again. The path first leads us across grassy slopes surrounded by sparse forest, then with the help of some fixed protections takes us one level higher. The path ahead transitions to gravelly slopes, which somewhat complicate the ascent for us, then the path turns left onto steep grassy slopes that rise above extensive screes. At the top of this grassy section we head slightly right and the path transitions from grass to the high-mountain world of the basins under Skuta. Further along the path surrounded by cairns we reach the pleasant bivouac under Skuta in a few minutes.
From the bivouac we continue on a poorly visible and still unmarked path along an indistinct ridgelet, which after 15 minutes of walking from the bivouac brings us to the marked path Kamniško sedlo - Kokrsko sedlo. Here we continue right and after a few minutes we reach a junction, where we turn sharply left towards Skuta (slightly left Rinke, straight Turska gora, Okrešelj and Kamniško sedlo). Further the path first gently ascends through the rocky terrain under Rinke. The steepness slowly increases and the path takes us to a scree which we must overcome. When we reach the top of the scree we enter the wall of Skuta. On the path fixed protections help us, mainly pegs. The path then takes us to a small ridge, where steel cables help us, then the path goes back into the wall. Again pegs help us, which take us to the summit part of Skuta. The steepness eases somewhat and soon after we step onto the summit.
V Koncu - bivouac under Skuta 3:00, bivouac under Skuta - Skuta 1:45.
