From S to a wide grassy ledge on the NE face. From its left edge to the 1st ring bolt. Right to the crack and through it to the saddle between Sphinx and Večerní V. (also "Standard route" here). Under the overhang right to the 2nd ring bolt and further right to the 3rd ring bolt at the W edge. Briefly up the crack, step right past the edge, further right into the SW face and up to the crack. Along it to the summit.
L. Vodháňel - J. Janků (1954): Ascent starts from the northeast onto a small, grassy fore-peak at the northeast face, either via the wide right crack or left via the overhanging wall to a grassy ledge. From there, ascend via the crack to the fore-peak. Further left via the corner crack under the overhang and right to the first ring bolt. From there, a little further right and along the crack to the fore-peak at Večerní Tower. Under the huge overhang, follow the ledge to the 2nd ring bolt and then via a difficult horizontal traverse on loose rock to the western corner, where the 3rd ring bolt is located. From there, ascend along the fissure upwards to its opening and with a very difficult pushing step to the right onto a sloping platform and further horizontally to the middle of the wall (sling anchors) to several smaller thread anchors. From these, continue upwards to the overhanging crack, which completes the ascent.
