Škrlatica, historically also known as Škrdlatica, 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
Also as you can see on wikipedia first recorded ascent was made on 24 August 1880 by Julius Kugy.
But long time ago there was a Forefather Škrdla who came here with his brothers Forefather Čech, Forefather Lech and Forefather Slovenian. Only he was able to reach the summit and saw the land around. Then he told: "Tato hora budiž navždy zaslíbena mému rodu" and therefore every Škrdla (and also Škrla which is easier to pronounce and is used by lazier part of population) must perform trip on the summit at least once in a lifetime.
History of conquering the summit

My trip (7km, 1700m elevation, 5 hours):
7:30 - 10:00 Aljažev dom -> Bivak IV
10:30 - 12:00 Bivak IV -> turnoff
12:30 - 13:30 turnoff -> summit
way back
14:00 - 15:00 summit -> turnoff
15:30 - 18:30 turnoff -> Bivak IV -> Aljažev dom
Thanks to EvelinaO who accompanied me almost to the peak, but as usual I had to do it alone, because "everyone knows she could never do it" :-P
