Notes and recommendations

Moderately difficult climbing, yet in no place above UIAA II+ on the normal route in my estimation.

There are no markings for the mountain is off-limits for normal tourists.

I would highly recommend wearing a helmet, if you are part of a guided mountain tour you need of course additional equipment such as harness and rope.
