Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a narrow road which leads past the mountain hut Tičarjev dom towards the mountain hut Poštarski dom. After a short ascent, the road turns to the left and then brings us to the signposts, where from the road footpaths branch off. We go right following the signs »Prisojnik, Razor« and we ascend past a grassy peak Sovna glava. Next follows a short descent and we are again at the crossing. Left leads the path on Prisank through the window Prednje okno, and we continue on the right path and over the scree we cross slopes on the west side of Prisank. The path then ascends a little and it brings us to a crossing, where the path Grebenska pot on Prisank branches off to the left. We continue straight, and the path becomes less steep and we are again very quickly at the crossing. This time branches off to the left path Slovenska pot (south) on Prisank, and we continue right following the signs Razor (south path) and start descending a little. After that, the path passes on the south slopes and crosses slopes towards the east. On some spots, we also get help from some iron spikes and steel cables and then we come on grassy slopes. We soon come to a crossing, where we continue right (left path Jubilejna pot on Prisank) in the direction of Razor. The path then crosses slopes below Razor and only a little further brings us to the entrance in technically more demanding part of the path. With the help of fixed safety gear we ascend on short wall, which doesn't cause bigger problems. The path then goes towards the south and tower Utrujeni stolp. We are soon on a saddle Planja, where joins the path from Pogačnikov dom.
From the saddle Planja we continue left (right Planja) on the path which is at first ascending on natural passages, where the path is occasionally only slightly exposed. A little further, the path leads us past a cave in which is usually almost entire year ice and snow. From the cave ahead we ascend towards the notch, where we have to be careful, not to trigger stones. And a little further we get to the spot, where new path separates from old. Old path is because of rockfall in the year 2013 permanently closed, so we go right on a nicely marked new path, on which we quickly get to a short, but very demanding ascent, where as recommended by PZS is mandatory to use a self-belay set. With the help of steel cables and stemples we ascend on vertical or on short part even overhanging chimney, which is because of stones above chimney also quite exposed to falling stones. When secured part ends we have only an ascent on a panoramic ridge to the top of Razor.
