The peak was documented through multiple mapping expeditions and stands as an important mountain objective within the Pirin range. Its role in the geographical exploration of the region has contributed to the documentation of this mountain area.

Local climbers regularly visit Gazey as part of their mountain training and experience, treating it as an important peak within their climbing journey. The summit has become a respected goal for experienced mountaineers in the region.

Climbing Gazey requires technical skill and specialized equipment, as the route is demanding and exposed. The commonly used approach starts from Upper Polejan Lake via the eastern ridge and demands preparation and mountaineering experience.

Within the cirque formed by the ridge surrounding it, two alpine lakes sit among the highest water bodies across the Balkans. These lakes make the location a distinctive feature of this high mountain region.
