Tag - Suchy Wierch Kondracki
Suchy Wierch Kondracki – a peak at an altitude of 1895 m a.s.l. in the Western Tatras. It has two peaks, the higher one on the Slovak side is 1985 m a.s.l. and the lower one on the Polish side is 1890 m a.s.l. It is located in the main ridge of the Tatras, between Kopa Kondracka (2005 m a.s.l.) and Mała Sucha Czuba Kondracka (1832 m a.s.l.). It is separated from Kopa Kondracka by the Kopa Kondracka Pass (1864 m a.s.l.), from Mała Sucha Czuba by Gładki Przechód (1799 m a.s.l.). The northern slopes descend to the Kondratowa Valley, to the south there is a side ridge Jaworowy Grzbiet (Javorový hrebeň), which separates Czerwony Upłaz on the eastern side from Dolinka Rozpadła on the western side.
In the summit dome of Suchy Wierch Kondracki there are several more non-prominent peaks separated by a ridge ditch. To the north-east, about 140 m from the border peak, behind the ridge ditch, there is a small mound (1864 m), from which a ridge called Łopata branches off to the north-east into the Kondratowa Valley. This ridge separates the Długi Żleb valley from the Suchy Kondracka Valley (both are branches of the Kondratowa Valley).
The summit massif and northern slopes of Suchy Wierch Kondracki are made of crystalline rocks lying on a sedimentary base. In this place, in the limestone Western Tatras, there is the so-called Goryczkowa crystal island – an area made of crystalline rocks. The southern slopes below Jaworowa Kopa are made of limestone and dolomites. The massif is mainly covered by grasslands, scree and dwarf pine. Rock walls occur only on the steepest north-eastern slopes descending to the Sucha Kondracka Valley.
From the peak, there is a vast view of the Western Tatras, the High Tatras, the Sącz Beskid Mountains, the Pieniny Mountains, the Gorce Mountains, the Wyspowy Beskid, the Żywiec-Orawska Beskid Mountains and the Low Tatras.
