Škrlatica
Škrlatica, historically also known as Suhi plaz, is a mountain in the Slovenian Julian Alps. With its summit at 2,740m above sea level, it is the second highest peak in Slovenia and the third highest in the Julian Alps as a whole.
The mountain's name is the feminine adjectival form of the Slovene word škrlat, a cognate of "scarlet," referring to the dramatic reddish-purple shade of the steep northwestern rockface in the reddish light of sunset. The alternate name Suhi plaz refers to a scree below Mount Spodnji Rokav.
The first recorded ascent of Škrlatica was made from the southern side on 24 August 1880 by Julius Kugy, accompanied by the mountain guide Andrej Komac and the hunter Matija Kravanja.
