Path description:
From the Vršič pass we head onto the path in the direction of Slemenova špica, Hanzova pot to Mala Mojstrovka and the Tamar valley (left - usual route to Mala Mojstrovka) along the path that begins to climb transversely to the right. During the ascent which runs along the slopes of Šitna glava we cross several smaller scree slopes and torrents, after which the path from Erjavčeva koča at Vršič joins us from the right.
Here we continue straight and passing a viewpoint a few meters away, in a few minutes we ascend to the Vratca saddle (1799 m), where the next marked junction is.
We continue left in the direction of Mojstrovka (right unmarked path to Prednje Robičje, straight Slemenova špica) along the path that runs under the walls of Šitna glava. After a few tens of steps further the Hanzova pot to Mala Mojstrovka branches off left upwards (straight Slemenova špica on unmarked path). The path ahead climbs steeply with the help of numerous pitons and higher brings us to the first steel cables, which then become our "constant" companion. The still excellently secured path leads us further over exposed ledges and gullies steeply upwards. The path, which is exposed to falling rocks, gradually flattens and an unmarked path from Šitna glava joins us from the left. After a few more minutes the steepness eases and the path brings us to a more level terrain, which we bypass on the right side. Further the path approaches the ridge, and we see Mangart and Jalovec in front of us. Here the path turns slightly left and brings us to the next steep section, where with the help of a few pitons, mainly without protection, we climb the steep summit slope of Mala Mojstrovka to its panoramic summit.
We can descend via the easier usual route.
