Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to 49th hairpin turn of Vršič road (near the village Trenta). Here we go on a side road in the direction of source of river Soča. The road after a shorter ascent quickly brings us to the parking lot before the mountain hut Koča pri izviru Soče, but we continue left over a bridge and follow the road ahead to the parking lot at the end of the road (by parking lot we notice signposts for Bavški Grintavec, waterfalls of Suhi potok and Jalovec).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the right footpath in the direction of Jalovec and cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom (left path leads on Bavški Grintavec). The path from which at the beginning a nice view opens up on the already mentioned Bavški Grintavec, quickly passes into a dense forest, where starts ascending steeply. Steep path, which almost all the time runs through the forest, after approximately hour and a half of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the right path in the direction of Jalovec and Mali kot (left cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom, Jalovec past the cottage and Škrbina pod Gradom). The path which still runs through the forest higher brings us to the next crossing, where from the right side, the path from Vršič joins. We continue straight upwards in the direction of Jalovec (left cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom). The path which is at first relatively steeply ascending soon brings us out of the forest on the more and more panoramic slopes. The path which is mostly ascending on sunny side slopes, higher passes on more rocky terrain, where we also come to a crossing. We continue left (straight notch Jalovška škrbina and Tamar) on the path which crosses slopes below Jalovška škrbina in the direction of rocky slopes of Goličica. And a relatively easy path then gets interrupted by the mountain wall of Goličica. In front of the entry into a climbing part of the path, a sign informs us, that we will continue the ascent on a very demanding path. The path ahead in a gentle ascent crosses steep and exposed slopes, and then turns right and starts ascending on a wall almost straight upwards. During the ascent on a wall of Goličica we get help from only few rare fixed safety gear. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path brings us on the scree on and by which we are then ascending. The increasingly panoramic path then brings us to the spot, where a view opens up through Jalovec couloir into a valley Tamar. We continue on a little less steep path over slopes named Jezerce. Ahead follows a short descent and the path brings us to the spot, where from the left joins the path from the cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom. The path then again steeply ascends and with some fixed safety gear on in parts quite exposed path brings us on the main ridge of Jalovec. Further, we are ascending on narrow and occasionally very exposed ridge, on the path which higher brings us to the spot, where from the left joins the path from the saddle Kotovo sedlo. We continue straight and panoramic ridge path quickly brings us to the summit.
