Predpoveď hlási stabilné počasie na víkend, tak neváham, balím spacák a v piatok poobede vyrážam na pokračovanie tejto expedície na etapy. Konkrétna trasa závisí od ochoty šoféra autobusu - ak bude ochotný vyhodiť ma na Šturci - idem Veľkú Fatru. Ak nie, počkám si na iný bus, do Valče a budem pokračovať tam, kde som skončil minule: od sedla Majbiková na Kľak a ďalej cez pohorie Žiar na Kremnické Bane.
Šofér bol viac ako ochotný, takže pred štvrtou už stepujem tam, kde som celú Korunu kedysi dávno začal - na Malom Šturci. Akurát vyrážam opačným smerom, na Kráľovu studňu a ďalej. Týmto úsekom Šturec - KS som ešte jakživ nešiel a je to veľmi pohodlný nástup, lesná cesta sa len mierne a pozvoľne dvíha, až na jeden krátky prudký úsek.
Na Studni som pred siedmou, slnko je ešte vysoko, namiesto piva a večere idem hľadať starú mysterku, ktorú chcem už veľa veľa rokov a nikdy nie je času. Ani teraz, ale napriek tomu hľadám .. a BUM, DNF. Nič moc, zabil som vari trištvrte hodinu, za jeden krásny výhľad to vari stojí.
Pokračujem rezko na Krížnu, na hreben..." — Rikitan • Jul 15, 2022
"A group of hikers from Croatia came to Slovakia for hiking week.
Today we cklimbed to Velky Krivan.
We went with cable from Vratna dolina to Snilovske sedlo. Then half hour to the top Velky Krivan. Later we went to Chleb and Chata pod Chlebom." — DrZagy • Jul 2, 2016
"We believed in sunny views above misty valleys, but even the hilltop was not able to get an inch above this november fog. It was blown away only late during the day when we were already down." — Rikitan • Nov 8, 2015
"It was really cold and windy at the top. I reached the top via red trail from the east and then went down by continuing it and stopping at Markowe Szczawiny mountain hut. I returned back to the parking lot via blue trail." — szymonkodrebski • Jan 11, 2014

So, at least six times first.. Who can resist : ).
Climbing without guide is not permitted (exceptions can be done for certified members of national alpine clubs ). Otherwise park authorities insisting on hiring guide. At the very last moment we catched one - Dusko. And i found him to be very good. I can recommend to everyone.
Because of potential afternoon storm we started at 4:30 from Selszky Dom. ~45 minutes to the bottom of the rocks. From there it is about 3-4 hours of grade II or III climb. All went smooth. Thanks for all kinds of advices and help from Dusko.
Sky was still crystal clear when we reached the peak. Gorgeous views to all directions. Most of High Tatras peaks visible around. I think we spent almost one hour on the top, sharing limited space with another ~15 people.
Scramble down was slower than I expected.. Even if guide chose easier trail via the West slope. After 3-4 hours we reached small lake, and from there it was simple, few kilometers walk. Few c..." — Deividas • Jul 29, 2013
