Ostrý štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.
Ostrý štít is a granite peak in the High Tatras rising to 2360 meters with steep rock faces that demand technical climbing skills. The mountain offers several different routes that appeal to climbers of varying experience levels.
The first successful ascent to the summit occurred in 1902 when four climbers reached the peak together. This event marked the beginning of modern climbing activity at the mountain.
The mountain draws climbers from across the region who come to test their skills and connect with others who share their passion. Visitors notice the international community that regularly gathers at this location.
The mountain can be reached from the Zbojnicka Chata mountain hut, with summer months offering the best conditions for climbing attempts. Plan your visit during dry weather for the safest approach to the routes.
The southern wall of the mountain hosts the highest elevation juniper and heather plants found anywhere in the Tatra range. These plants thrive at an altitude that is unusual elsewhere in the region.
