Popis-štítu / Description:
There is a distinctive elevation called Mengusovská vežička (tower) in the western ridge of Veľký Mengusovský štít (W summit), in the HT’s (Vysoké Tatry) main ridge, separating this ridge from Hincovo sedlo (saddle) in the west. Standing at the Hincové pleso (tarn) you can see that the Mengusovská vežička (tower/spire???) is separated from Čubrina (peak) by easily accessible Hincovo sedlo (saddle). The tower falls away to the south by grassy shoulder that scarps over the Hincovo pleso (tarn) as a triangular S face. The characteristic of this face are two distinctive overhangs reminding supraorbital arches. The routes are only 4-5 pitches long, but the summer climbing on the solid, wavelike, water scoured rock, is very enjoyable.
Getting there:You shall follow the blue hiking trail from Popradské pleso (tarn) to Hincovo pleso (tarn) that is in the middle of large stony amphitheatre. You shall skirt around the tarn from the left to the scree beneath the S face. Scramble up the scree (from Popradské pleso/tarn approximately 2,5 hours). There is a possibility to access the face (convinient from Chata pod Rysmi/chalet) from the neighbouring Kotlina Žabích plies (basin): walk beneath the southern ridge of Mengusovský Volovec (peak).

Zostup zo štítu / Descent:

After finishing the climb you can scramble up the mild terrain to the summit of the tower and then descend down to the Hincové sedlo (saddle) (ridge, III), or down to Hincové sedlo (saddle) approximately 150 m and down the scree-grassy slope until you reach Hincovo pleso (tarn), or after finishing the difficult part of the climb (usual) you shall traverse the rocky slope 100m to the left until you reach the trail coming from Hincovo sedlo. In the bottom section you shall descend down the rocky- grassy gully, or the slablike gully more to the left to the wall. (Not the gully, which is more to the right in the face of Čubrina/peak). Walking terrain, 45 minutes. Translated by M. Ridzoň.
