South Ridge (Južný hrebeň)

One of the classic and best-known alpine routes on Ľadový štít. It is a serious High Tatras climb with sustained steep rock and mixed terrain. The route is typically climbed in summer conditions, but snow and verglas can make it considerably harder. Protection and route-finding are important, and the climb is exposed to rockfall and weather changes. It is not a hiking route and requires full mountaineering equipment and experience. The exact difficulty can vary with conditions, but it is generally regarded as a hard alpine route.

A documented classic route on Ľadový štít, known for its steep and committing character. The line is a genuine alpine climb rather than a scramble, with mixed rock and snow/ice sections depending on conditions. It is generally considered more serious than standard ridge walking and demands careful route-finding. Wet or icy conditions can significantly increase the difficulty and objective hazard. The route is exposed and can be affected by rockfall. It is commonly treated as a full-day mountaineering objective from the Téryho chata area.
