Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Jezersko or over Pavličevo saddle we continue driving to the end of the settlement Železna Kapla / Eisenkappel, where we park at the abandoned joinery workshop on the left bank of river Bela. Above the parking lot we can see a fort (Turkish guardhouse) with a flag.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go in the direction of the river by joinery workshop, where we notice steel cables and iron spikes.
Initial traverse (C) soon vertically ascends (C/D), and we get help only from a steel cable and here and there few stemples. Mountain wall is all the time vertical. Next follows a long traverse (C) to the left, which from the vertical wall brings us into a pleasant forest, where we can take a rest. Immediately follows next demanding section, which brings us on a short, slightly overhang outside corner (C/D), after which follows a vertical line (C) oriented a little to the left, which ends in the forest. Here we are at half of the climbing path. And in front of us there is the most difficult section, which starts with vertical column (C), after which it starts the most difficult spot. In serious overhang (D/E) we are ascending left upwards, we get help from some rare stemples (quite far apart from each other - problem for shorter mountaineers). Here we have most of the weight on arms and to someone with less strength or climbing technique this section can be impassable. Extremely demanding is mostly clipping the carabiners of self-belay set, when we have to hold the steel cable only with one hand. Route turns right, and difficulty to the end of the crossing to the right doesn't decrease. It is highly recommended the use a short rope for resting in the middle of the most difficult part, because moving forward over the most difficult part without a rest is possible only for very strong climbers. The hardest is behind us, follows only few shorter medium difficult spots (C) in well rugged rock, the path then crosses forested slopes and soon also the steel cable ends. To here (end of the climbing path) we need a good two hours of ascent. From here we can continue path on Božičev vrh (we follow Austrian blazes right upwards), or we descend to the starting point.
