 The effects of high @-@ altitude weather on those who ascend Gerlachovský štít may be more pronounced than its altitude alone . The temperature gradient between the Tatra mountain resorts ( 900 – 1 @,@ 350 m or 2 @,@ 950 – 4 @,@ 430 ft ) and the summit can be steep . Low air temperature higher up can be masked by high insolation under clear skies , but will take its effect with increased cloud cover . Combined with windy conditions , the impact may be considerably detrimental even without rain or snow . The summit disappears in the clouds for periods of time on most days , which translates to fog at that elevation and possible disorientation as well as anxiety .
