Mięguszowiecki Szczyt Pośredni, Mountain summit in Prešov Region, Slovakia.
Mięguszowiecki Szczyt Pośredni is the lowest of the three Mięguszowieckie Summits, on the Polish-Slovak main ridge of the High Tatras. It has three tops of 2389, 2388 and 2383 m, the highest lying nearest the Mięguszowiecka Przełęcz Wyżnia. Its north-east wall drops about 370 m into the Bańdzioch cirque, and its south-west wall about 300 m above the Wielki Hińczowy Staw.
The first summer ascent was made on 15 August 1903 by Włodzimierz Boldireff and Stanisław Porębski. Walter Delmár and Gyula Komarnicki completed the first winter ascent on 23 March 1916. The peak was formerly called Środkowy Mięguszowiecki Szczyt.
The peak was long called Środkowy Mięguszowiecki Szczyt, and its three summits are linked by the main Tatra ridge. Climbers usually traverse it together with the neighbouring Mięguszowiecki Szczyt Wielki in a single outing, and the routes carry the names of early Tatra climbers such as Świerz, Orłowski and the Komarnicki brothers.
Access to the summit requires advanced mountaineering skills and proper climbing equipment including ropes, protection gear, and crampons, with routes typically starting from Hińczowa Valley or Przełęcz pod Chłopkiem, taking between one to several hours depending on the chosen climbing route and weather conditions.
The three summits measure 2389, 2383 and 2388 m, the lowest being the middle one; the highest, north-western top stands nearest Mięguszowiecka Przełęcz Wyżnia. Two rare plants grow on the rocks, Saxifraga retusa and Minuartia uniflora, which in Poland appear at only a few Tatra sites.
