Malý Ľadový štít is a summit in the High Tatras composed of granite that rises steeply from the surrounding terrain. The peak sits at approximately 2,600 meters and features exposed rock faces that make the climb technically demanding.
The summit was first ascended in 1835, marking an early achievement in the mountaineering history of the Tatras. This expedition helped establish the region as a destination for climbers seeking technical challenges.
Local mountaineering traditions remain strong at Malý Ľadový štít, with generations of climbers passing down their knowledge of routes and techniques.
The route demands climbing equipment, sturdy mountaineering boots, and ideally a guide familiar with the terrain. Visitors should expect technical climbing sections and choose clear weather for safety.
The mountain has two distinct peaks separated by a noticeable saddle. The southeastern face drops dramatically into Dolinka Lodowa, creating an especially steep and exposed section that many climbers remember long after their visit.
