Ascent to Prostredný hrot
The ascent to Prostredný hrot 2441 meters above sea level is one of the more demanding ascents.
Stredohot is the highest peak of the Prostredný ridge, which extends from the main ridge of the High Tatras to the south as a side arm of the Široká veža. The ridge separates the Malá and Veľká Studená valleys. Its name points to the location of the peak itself in the middle of these two valleys.
Several ascent routes lead to the top of Prostredný hrot. The ascent begins at Hrebienok, from where it is clearly visible, continues along the chalet Zamkovského chata in the direction of Téryho chata.
The most used is the route from Malá Studená dolina through Sedlo pred Prostredným.
A more exposed ascent over the Dubkeho lávka is also popular, or both routes tend to combine, one on the ascent and the other on the descent.
Total Ascent: 1157 m
Difficulty: difficult
Duration: 8 hours
