Reaching the summit requires solid climbing experience and specialized gear, as several sections involve exposed rock passages. Most climbers attempt this peak during warmer months when conditions are more manageable, while winter and early spring present considerable hazards.
The peak's name comes from natural holes and cavities visible in its rock formations that are apparent from a distance. These features, called 'Dziurawa' meaning perforated or holey, noticeably shape the mountain's appearance when viewed from afar.
