Východná Vysoká is a mountain in Slovakia, Europe. Part of the High Tatras. Elevation: 2,429 m (7,969 ft). Also known as Kis-Viszóka-csúcs. Coordinates: 49.1753, 20.1455.
This is the standard documented mountaineering line on Východná Vysoká, climbing the mountain’s south side from the area of the Valley of the Five Polish Ponds. It is an alpine route rather than a hiking trail and involves exposed mixed terrain and short rock sections. Conditions can vary significantly with snow and ice, which may increase the seriousness of the climb. The route is typically done as an out-and-back ascent and descent. Exact published figures for gain, length, and times are not consistently documented in the sources I can verify, so they are left null.
The north ridge is a documented alpine route on Východná Vysoká and is generally considered more serious than the normal south-side line. It follows a prominent ridge with sustained exposure and route-finding demands. The climbing character is mixed, with rock steps and possible snow or ice depending on conditions. It is not a trekking route and requires proper mountaineering experience and equipment. I am not confident enough to provide verified published figures for gain, length, or times, so those fields are omitted.
