Their first ascent came to be on August 11th, 1876. They were joined by Samual Horvay and Tery’s friend Pavol Schwartz from Vienna.
The first winter ascent came on April 2nd, 1904. The successful party consisted of Jozef Szelke, Karol Jordán and J. Lackner accompanied by mountain guides Pavol Spitzkopf sr. and Ján Breuer.
