Pośrednie Mylne Wrótka is a shallow notch tucked into the Kościelce Ridge, precisely in the southern ridge of Zadni Kościelec, between Mylna Turnia and Mylna Kopa. It's a spot for those who want to experience genuine alpine ridge climbing without facing extreme technical difficulty.

Thanks to solid rock and manageable technical challenges, this stretch of the ridge is popular among climbing course participants and beginner mountaineers - earning it the humorous nickname Grań Praojców (Ridge of Forefathers). The surroundings offer a raw, high-mountain character: on one side the notch drops away in a wall toward the Kocioł Zmarzłego Stawu cirque, and on the other toward Zadnie Koło. In summer the ridge invites sunny scrambling with wide views over neighboring rock towers, while in autumn and spring extra caution is needed due to possible ice on the rock.

How to reach the viewpoint

• Access is only possible as part of a mountaineering traverse of the Kościelce Ridge - the route requires experience, climbing protection gear, and ideally a mountain guide or an experienced climbing partner.
• The traverse is typically undertaken as a full crossing of the Kościelec - Mylna Przełęcz ridge and back.

Practical information

• The terrain requires basic climbing skills, even though the rock itself is solid and stable.
• This is not a spot for casual hikers - mountaineering experience is required.

It was here, on 11 July 1906, that Zygmunt Klemensiewicz and Roman Kordys made the first traverse, breaking with the then-prevailing rule of climbing only with a guide - a milestone moment in the history of Polish mountaineering.
