L. Vodháněl - J. Janků (1954): The ascent starts approximately in the middle of the SW wall over a wide belly to a pinnacle, from which we traverse right until we can reach a hole with our hands. From this hole, we climb up to the 1st ring. From there, first directly up to an arched hold (pinnacle), along which we traverse slightly right on a ledge and then again up into a large elongated hole, where we go back left to the second ring. From the ring, then up the left wall and higher along the notch to a smooth slab, where the 3rd ring is located. From there, up the overhanging wall to a wide shelf that crosses almost the entire wall. From the shelf, over another overhanging wall to a ring and further about two meters up. Here we turn right onto a large rock pinnacle and from there to the prominent clock. From the clock, we continue right and up the already receding wall to the summit.
