Pyšný štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.
The granite peak reaches an elevation of 2621 meters and stands between the Mala Studena and Medena valleys in the High Tatras range.
Edmund Téry and mountain guide Martin Spitzkopf completed the first documented ascent on August 8, 1877, leaving proof of their achievement in a bottle.
The mountain's name changed from Lastovicia Tower to Pysny Peak, which translates to 'proud' in Slovak, reflecting its natural characteristics.
The challenging climb requires 8 to 10 hours with a 600-meter vertical ascent from Teryho Hut, demanding professional guide assistance for safety.
The peak ranks as the fifth highest in Slovakia, featuring technical climbing sections through exposed granite terrain with views toward Lomnicky Peak.
