ApproachFrom Elola Hut go to Hoya Antón at the base of the normal route. From here you can see the north face. The clasic route is the wider gully just right of a marked corner (Diedro Esteras). Continue from here following the normal route till you get to the base of the main piramyd. Surround by the bottom of the rocky east face, then the Diedro Esteras route (much narrower gully) and finally you are at the bottom of the route. The first pitch have to be an ice fall.
