Mięguszowiecki Ridge is definitely one of the most challenging ridges in my offer. 

Location

It is situated high above Morskie Oko valley and it takes us through the highest and most challenging peaks of the Polish Tatra Mountains. An approach to the climb leads through one of the hardest signed paths in the Tatras and usually takes about 3 hours from the Morskie Oko shelter.

The climb

Once the col Mięguszowiecka Przełęcz pod Chłopkiem is reached, we start climbing the arete of Mięguszowiecki. At the beginning, the route is pretty easy and obvious, but shortly, huge exposure and lots of granit gendarmes, makes it hard to find the easiest pass. Once Mięguszowiecki Szczyt Pośredni (2393 m) is reached, the arete starts to go down, towards the tiny saddle of Wyżnia Mięguszowiecka Przęłęcz. From that point the hardest part of the climb starts. Two rope lengths in the chimney (grade IV UIAA) lead towards an easier ground on Mięguszowiecki Szczyt east ridge. 

Once the top of Mięguszowiecki Szczyt is climbed, we start to descent via west ridge. Some down climbing in a big exposure and a few abseils will take us to Hińczowa col. From that point an easier scrambling takes us to big traverse of Cybryna galleries. Once this last obstacle is behind, we reach an easy climbers path towards Dolinka za Mnichem (valley), where the signed path goes towards Morskie Oko.
