The trail head is a aproximately a kilometer above the village of Finestrat, at Font Moli. The hike in it's entireity is very steep, going up a vertical kilometer. The path is at times very unclear and the markings are poor. Halfway to the summit we follow a couloir. There is no clear path up here and there is a lot of loose rocks. On the top of the couloir, the path is once more visible. The summit gives for an amazing view on sunny days, however it can be cold and a lot of wind up there.
