The first visitors to Gerlachovsky Peak area and the peak itself were hunters and botanists, and it is quite possible that some of them reached even the summit.
The first proved person to stand atop Gerlach, in 1834, was a Spis-German mountain guide Ján Still (1805 - 1890) who at the time was a teacher in the village of Nova Lesna. He was accommpanied by his brother in law, Gellhof (a builder from Velka), a miller Martin Urban Spitzkopf, and two uknown chamois hunters.
The first Slovak ascent was completed in 1875 via Batizovka Proba by mountain guides from Stola - Ján Ruman Driečny ml. a Ján Pasterňák.
