Rock Climbing
From the East, traverse across the NE face to the large 'clock' on the N edge. Then right into the valley wall to a small cave (also directly here via the right crack in the valley wall). Up the overhanging crack over an embedded block ('egg') into a narrow chimney and by that to the summit.
L. Vodháňel - J. Janků (1954): From the northwest base of the tower, ascend the right indistinct crack to a step. With a high step in the right wall, reach a receding easier wall and higher into a small cave where belaying is possible. From there, quite easily traverse horizontally left to another cave. This cave can also be reached from the east corner of the tower by climbing diagonally right along notches, then along a grassy ledge and by squeezing through a rock window. From the cave, continue up the overhanging, right-sloping, pushing crack into a bell-shaped recess at the start of the summit crack (the most difficult point of the ascent). The summit is reached by continuing up the narrow chimney.
