"My original plan, heading for Radomir, was to not do this hill at all but rather get the track to south of Debolo Bardo and go from there. However, I was concerned about this road not being passable and having read (perhaps mistakenly) people successfully climbing from further east, I took that on. Hence I drove up a fairly good dirt track as these things go, from Vyroneia, heading west, then north. This took me to a point 1500m height to a clearing where road bends and a small path leads to the ridge. I took this path; unclear at first, boggy and overgrown. The path fades but I traversed the bottom of the outcrop and made my way to ridge where I, with gratitude found the track on the Bulgarian side that makes its way to Kongur. This I climbed by leaving main track and taking the diagonal path up the side. This was overgrown with a trip-every-other-step prickly kind of heather which bore blue berries, among which was growing the more familiar kind of plant of the blueberry family. The path turned west and then gave an opportunity to meet the ridge path (this is probably a better option for the ascent as it looked less overgrown). There are two abandoned concrete and stone buildings..." — vygodski • May 31, 2025
