Description

Melen is a very interesting mountain; from south it looks like any "ordinary" mountain, with a wide ridge. From north it looks almost inaccessible, with its very narrow north ridge. However, the north ridge is very doable, as long as one has a head for heights and don't mind exposure.
For first-timers it is best to ascend the south ridge, and then scramble along the north ridge as far as one feels comfortable; there is no problem turning around at any point.
