Upłazkowa Kopa is a quiet, little-known rocky peak in the Kościeliska Valley, appealing to those who want to explore the wilder, off-the-beaten-path corners of the Western Tatras.
It sits on the north-western ridge descending from Upłazkowa Turnia towards Przełęcz za Saturnem, right next to the main summit, separated from it by the Upłazkowe Siodło saddle. To the north, a modest 40-metre wall drops toward Pisaniarski Żleb, while to the south an 80-metre wall, ending in a rocky spur at its base, falls into Upłazkowy Kocioł. Remarkably, neither wall has ever been climbed - not due to technical difficulty, but simply because climbers have shown little interest in this remote corner. As a result, the area retains a raw, untouched character, far from the crowds found on the Tatras' popular trails.
