Itinerary description
I've been told by older alpinists that this summit is rarely climbed in the past and is relatively harder than Jezera summit.
The main difficulties I found were:
1. The unstable stones combined with the tight slope near the summit and in another part of the route (it was quite frustrating for all of us, even the most experienced ones).
2. The up-down of the route with an extra accumulative elevation of 400 m (200m both ways).
3. The route itself was totally unmarked which makes this impossible for someone that hasn't been there previously.
If you ever plan to try this peak, I would recommend the winter season, as it is easier to walk on the snow or ice (with the right equipment) than in the stones.
