Very nice tour, if we had more sun it would already be kitschy. Congrats!

The fog scared us a bit, then soon everything was clear.
The gully is extremely loose and crumbly, everything falls down.
Right below the top of the gully there's a cairn in the right place.

How does it look from Latvica to the top? Last time I went down, it was all covered with debris and the descent was quite hard.

From Latvica to the top the path is clean and well visible, although the markers are a bit faded.

No ice really, ice axe is mandatory for crossing Latvica, crampons optional... still recommend them, as you know north side.

People plan things for a reason, then the wind brings something completely different. So for me among unplanned things Mrzla Gora happened for the second time this month. Last week my friend and I climbed it from Matkov Kot (path is nicely marked and additionally protected at key spots), yesterday via Hudi Prask. For the second thing @Medo is to blame, who kindly informed me he's going to check Hudi Prask because he plans a longer venture in the future and this is among recon tours. Of course you don't decline such an invitation, so we agree that due to time limit we traverse from Okrešelj only to Latvica and then descend to Matkov Kot. Logistically supported by two cars and we're just after 5am already at the upper parking in Logarska. To Okrešelj as countless times before, then behind the second torrent right up the hill and soon we're at the top of the scree at the entry to Hudi Prask. Initial jump is tricky mainly due to fine loose rock, so everything flies from under fingers and feet. After climbing the initial part, then up the cluttered right-facing gully towards the top. A bit before the top a cairn on the left directs to the exit, but we climb to the top where we look to the other side. Below us lies a wonderful picnic meadow, saved for next time. Then follows traversing the slope a bit below the ridge top, the tower under the ridge we bypass on the left, through bushes descend into a smaller gully, from it again through bushes that are @Medo's "extremely dear to heart" we exit to the meadow. From there just over the edge to the path, and we're already resting in Latvica. Relaxed after successful approach @Medo realizes he forgot the car keys in my car, so our well-planned logistics helps nothing. We turn towards the top of Mrzla Gora, descend to Okrešelj for beans and more than deserved beer (compensation for forgetfulness) and to the car and on to Matkov Kot for the second vehicle.
So for now I say goodbye to the rugged lady Mrzla Gora, when we meet again she'll obviously decide herself.
Pictures follow (provided by @Medo).

Pika, I'd ask the following:
- do you need crampons, ice axe for Mrzla Gora from Matkov Kot?
- are the markers new (years ago I went to MG from Mrzli Dol, they were very faded).
Thanks for reply.

Hi Janez!
No snow on the path anywhere, markers are new from Matkov Škaf onwards, also additional ropes and pegs at key spots. Path is nicely set up, remains cluttered and crumbly.
Good luck.

I think Medo deliberately left the keys in the car so he could go to Mrzla Gora too and extend the tour a bit!

Bravo Pika, magnificent tour!
If logistics fail, you just have to extend and enjoy further

Congratulations to both for the wonderful tour, for the keys surely the Cold Lady took care, she didn't allow you to hang around there without visiting her. lp

Today's ascent to Mrzla Gora was spiced by the entry into the Hudi Prask wall. I entered at the top of the triangular scree (instead of left), wet rocks showed their teeth right away at the start. It went very, very slowly. There are two jumps, in between a ledge for a break. I made good use of the peg for belay. Further on the path is very cluttered but traceable. Trouble arises when you have to cross to the other side of the mountain. All rotten, holds stay in hands, in short, adrenaline-packed.
From Latvice I continued to the summit following the marks, descended to Okrešelj.
What to say about the ascent? Ascent via Hudi Prask and descent to the Okrešelj side is probably the most that Mrzla Gora offers an ordinary hillwalker.

Thanks Drago.
Interestingly, the right entry into the route strongly reminded me of Skok on the path over Šraj peske to Korošica. There also two jumps, in between a ledge for a break. But the right entry into Hudi Prask seems harder to me.
