Pośrednie Szpiglasowe Wrótka is a small, sharply cut mountain pass in the Szpiglasowa Ridge of the High Tatras, tucked between Szpiglasowa Czuba and Szpiglasowy Ząb at an elevation of around 2110 m. This is a spot known mainly to experienced Tatra mountaineers rather than casual hikers – today the pass and the surrounding ridge are closed to both tourism and mountaineering.

The V-shaped notch has a raw, dramatic character. Its steep, slab-like upper section drops toward the Polish Dolinka za Mnichem valley, while on the Slovak side the slopes end in a several-meter-high slab wall with a distinctive diagonal crack. The landscape here is one of granite ridgelines, high-mountain silence, and a sense of isolation rarely found in the more frequented parts of the Tatras.

The Polish-Slovak border runs along this ridge, adding a symbolic dimension to the place – a point where two countries meet among the rocks.

• There is currently no legal tourist access – the Szpiglasowa Ridge area and its walls are closed to tourism and mountaineering.
• Historically accessible only to climbers via technical routes, including a chimney and gully approach from the Dolinka za Mnichem side.

• First summer ascent: Andrzej Byczkowski and Halina Cieplińska, September 20, 1968.
• First winter ascent: Władysław Cywiński, April 27, 1993 (grade IV+ on the Tatra scale).

The name of this place has shifted over the years – in 1989 Krzysztof Łoziński described it as Zachodnia Szczerbina z Igłą, also known as Zachodnia Dziurawa Przełączka.
