Kotlový štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.
Kotlový štít, also known as Mały Gerlach, rises prominently among granite peaks in the High Tatras range at an elevation of 2,655 meters.
The summit remained unexplored until 1834 when Johann Still and local hunters completed the first documented ascent of this formidable peak.
The mountain's name varies across languages, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the region: Mały Gerlach in Polish and Kis-Gerlachfalvi-csúcs in Hungarian.
Access to the summit requires membership in national mountaineering organizations or guidance from certified mountain guides due to national park regulations.
The peak maintains snow conditions throughout the year, creating specific climbing challenges and requiring advanced alpine mountaineering techniques in all seasons.
