Kugy Route III, 550m - Razor

Access to the route is easiest through the Koče v Krnici huts. From Koča v Krnici go on the path towards Kriška stena and somewhere at 1750 m is the entrance to the route right into the north face of Razor. There are lots of options, but they depend mainly on the amount of snow in the rock. After the initial ramp we can traverse left or right to bypass the rocky barrier. A good landmark in the first part of the route is a large rocky tooth in the middle of the barrier. Above it you need to get to the first part of the rock to traverse left or right. After that a view opens to a large snow field, which needs to be traversed a bit right until the entrance to the hidden gully opens. If there's enough snow, better to go into the left gully and at its top go fully right along the rock to the airy ridge. Follow the airy ridge to the rock, when difficulties become too big and depending on snow amount descend the ridge and briefly traverse right before the gully opens on the left side which leads to the top of the rock. When you reach the end of the gully there are several options. This is the pure exit from the rock. You can head either right or left, depending on snow amount. Here roofs often form, so we must watch snow quality when coming out of the rock. When you leave the route, obligatorily congratulate your partners and continue towards Razor summit directly to the ridge. On this direct path we can be surprised by 2 rocky jumps (III, 3-4 m) before reaching the summit ridge. After the ridge top simply follow to the very summit. From the summit there are several descent options, choose them based on fitness and conditions. We chose descent to the col between Prisojnik and Razor and then south path to Vršič. Wonderful route! P.S. Slovenian is not my native language, so please admins correct grammatical errors.

Antonio, nice that you post on this forum. And you even make effort to present the trip in our language. Even if you wrote in yours, nothing wrong.
So that even we who are already "retired" can see glimpses from some really good trip. Similar only on alpinist forums.
Safe further.
