To the saddle "Sedlo Váha" and from there along the exposed ridge to the southeast summit. If you carefully ride into the saddle Váha and then have a nice slope to the valley, pay attention to the rock steps and boulders in the Dolinka.

Favorite ski tour from Popradské Pleso. The ascent begins just as the Chata pod Rysmi. The climb is still going north, the lakes Žabie plesá are on their right side. Continue uphill through the valley between the moraine of Žabie pleso and the ridge of Mengusovský Volovec. Departure follows the ascent route.

A very challenging ski tour that can be undertaken as a round tour. From the Popradské pleso mountain hotel via the NNW direction through the Mlynická dolina valley to the Malé kozie pleso and Volie plieska lakes. Then a very steep slope of 35-40° to the nameless saddle between peaks Štrbský štít and Hlinská veža. A short steep descent into the Malá Zahrádka area. After a wide slope a comfortable ascent to Vyšné Koprovské sedlo and from there to the left below the NW ridge upwards. Descent to the Vyšné Koprovské sedlo saddle and from there between the rocks along a steep slope (sometimes very exposed, 40-45°) to the Hincové plesa lakes and along the brook Hincový potok through the Mengusovská dolina valley to Popradské pleso.
