Thank you :-)
Eh, it was not so serious, but really it was one rare occasion, when we were in a trouble. Still, nothing serious would happen, we would only be freezing a little.
Hm, Tom, I didn't read in the last time anything special. I guess coming up there should not be the problem anyway. Going down - you should just remember to keep right and again not much can go wrong. If I'll get some useful info, I'll let you know.
Maybe it's better to hike up from Matkov kot (it's easier to find marked spots when going up) and then descend to Okreselj.
In 2002 I got lost with my dad when we were descending from Skrlatica to Aljazev dom. We had to spend one night doing some excercises to avoid freezing. Next morning we found the marked path and got back to Vrata valley. It was very good experince for us as we haven't had any similar problems so far.
Hi, Tom!
It's hard to answer you such a question. We never use any self-protection equipment on ferratas, even not a helmet. And I know it's wrong. But just to get up on top of Mrzla gora, you really don't need it. Or - compare the ascent with Skrlatica. The route is of similar difficulty, only that Skrlatica is longer.
Cheers!

I'm glad that everything was o.k. at the end and I'm sure that it was a great experience for you.
I was observing this mountain last Sunday when I was on Turska gora and this mountain definitely gets my attention! It is really attractive and maybe next year will try to reach the summit.
It was really one of rare such situations. Nothing seriously could happen, we would be only freezing a little. Yes, also I would like to ascend Mrzla gora soon.
On September 2010 I went up to Mrzla from Ledine and then back to Ravenska kocna croosing Babe ridge to parking place at tovorna zicnica. One night at hut. Another day in the morning go over Jezersko sedlo and Savinjsko sedlo. And then downs towards to Okreselj and up to Mrzla gora. Fantastic breathtaking views to all valleys and Austria. Some really dangerous passages. Very demandingly. Yes, similar to Skrlatica but some not secured paths and climbing make this mountain more deamanding. Sometimes in the future I want to ascend from Matkov kot and down to Frischaufov dom. It is not recommended to go down to Matkov kot according to bad marked path and dangerous places.
Yes, long trip, I was at tovorna zicnica about at 10 p.m. Jenk. planina also nice place, there is water to drink on the left of the path to Ravenska kocna valley, definetelly I want to climb up from Matkov kot soon. Yes, Skrlatica, Mrzla gora and Ponza Grande (Visoko Rateska Ponza), all these "north" peaks are probably my dearest, Cheers! Tom

Re: a well-written...Hello Vid!
Do you have some new information about the marked path from Matkov kot? Is it better marked today?
Tom

Re: a well-written...Hello Vid,
Please one more question. I would like to know if you used a self-protected equipment to come up. Do you recommend it for this peak?
Cheers!

Re: Mrzla gora is greatYou did good and demanding trips, indeed! Actually I know Mrzla gora poorly. Would be very nice to climb up there soon again!
Cheers!
