Skrlatica

Skrlatica, also known historically as Suhi plaz ("Dry Avalanche"), is a peak in Slovenia's Julian Alps. With a summit elevation of 2,740m above sea level, it is Slovenia's second-highest mountain (after Triglav at 2,864m) and the third-highest in the Julian Alps overall (after Triglav and Jôf di Montasio / Monta at 2,754m).

The mountain's name is derived from the feminine adjectival form of the Slovene word krlat, which is a cognate of "scarlet," and refers to the dramatic reddish-purple tint of the steep northern rockface in the crimson light of sunset. Suhi plaz is an alternative name for scree below Mount Spodnji Rokav.

Julius Kugy, accompanied by mountain guide Andrej Komac and hunter Matija Kravanja, accomplished the first recorded climb of Skrlatica from the southern side on August 24, 1880.
