Skrajna Baszta is a mountain summit in the High Tatras, Slovakia, rising to about 2200 meters between two valleys in the Granice Baszt range. Its western slopes feature rocky cliffs and dense forest vegetation climbing toward the peak.

The first documented climb occurred in 1875, marking the beginning of modern exploration of this peak. Mining operations had taken place on the lower slopes centuries before climbers reached the summit.

The southern slopes hold traces of mining operations from centuries past, revealing how people worked in these high elevations long ago.

The route starts from a lower parking area and follows marked trails through forest before becoming steeper near the summit. Sturdy footwear and preparation for changing mountain conditions are important.

The western slopes drop sharply, revealing rock faces that extend dozens of meters upward in striking formations. These cliffs were shaped over time by natural weathering and erosion processes.
