Description 

From Zopkios parking area, the most expedious approach is a long bushwack directly to the ridge crest west of the peak. Climb the west ridge from here with several pitches of mid-5th class climbing, much krummholz and heather. Infrequently climbed due to the thrashy approach.

Location 

Descend east ridge.

Protection 

Slings and nuts.
