Skrlatica, historically also known as Suhi plaz ("Dry Avalanche"), is a mountain in the Slovenian Julian Alps. With its summit at 2,740m above sea level, it is the second highest peak in Slovenia (after Triglav at 2,864m) and the third highest in the Julian Alps as a whole (after Triglav and Jof di Montasio Montaz at 2,754m). The mountain's name is the feminine adjectival form of the Slovene word skrlat, a cognate of "scarlet," referring to the dramatic reddish-purple shade of the steep northwestern rockface in the reddish light of sunset. The alternate name Suhi plaz refers to a scree below Mount Spodnji Rokav.
