Škrlatica, historically also known as Suhi plaz, is a mountain in the Slovenian Julian Alps. With its summit at 2,740m above sea level, it is the second-highest peak in Slovenia (after Triglav at 2,864m) and the third highest in the Julian Alps as a whole (after Triglav and Jôf di Montasio / Montaž at 2,754m).[3]
Despite its height, the mountain has a low prominence, as its peak is part of a long, curtain-like ridge.
Name
[edit | edit source]The name Škrlatica is a dialect development from *Škriljatica, derived from škril 'stone slab', referring to a mountain with many stone slabs. The name is unrelated to the Slovene color word škrlat 'scarlet'.[4] The mountain's archaic name, Suhi plaz, pertains to an avalanche-prone scree below the Spodnji Rokav ridge.
History
[edit | edit source]The first recorded ascent of Škrlatica was from the southern side on 24 August 1880 by Julius Kugy, accompanied by the mountain guide Andrej Komac and the hunter Matija Kravanja.[5]
