Škrlatica, via Kriška Stena, presents a challenging yet rewarding climb in the Julian Alps. Rated B (referencing a Slovenian grading system which needs further clarification for international understanding - B likely represents a moderately difficult climb requiring experience and good technique. Specific difficulty may vary depending on conditions), this route through Kriška Stena offers stunning views and a memorable mountaineering experience. The ascent involves exposure, scrambling, and possibly some short sections of easy climbing, demanding both physical fitness and sound judgment.

Always check weather conditions and avalanche forecasts before undertaking this climb. The descent route may differ from the ascent and should be carefully planned.
