The first recorded ascent took place in 1886 although it is very likely that local hunters reached the summit way before then. The mountain can be climbed with a moderate level of difficulty from all directions. Due to the isolated position of the peak, and its prominence over neighbouring peaks, the summit offers a panoramic view, which includes all of the Carnics, the Dolomites, the Julian Alps, the Gailtal Alps and the High Tauern.
