Transcriptions

A group from the Styrian High-touring Section of the Austrian Alpine Association, led by Hanns Schell [de], made the first ascent on June 29, 1964. Initially they attempted to climb the southeast ridge but were unsuccessful so a few days later they returned to Camp 3 and crossed the southeast wall of Momhil Sar, Rudolf Pischinger [de], Hanns Schell, Horst Schindelbacher [de], Leo Schlömmer [de] and Rudolf Widerhofer [de] then reached the summit via the south ridge.[2][3]
