Climbing 'Vészkijárat (Táta)' (Grade B) in the High Tatras is a classic alpine adventure. This couloir offers a challenging mix of snow, ice, and rock climbing, demanding solid mountaineering skills. The 'B' grade indicates a moderately difficult climb, often involving sustained steep sections, potentially exposed traverses, and the need for ice axe and crampon proficiency. Success depends on assessing avalanche risk, choosing the right conditions, and being prepared for rapidly changing weather. It's a rewarding experience for those seeking a taste of true Tatra mountaineering.
