Trail description
The route follows the path via the trim post boxes at Hengen and Sledo. The first part of the route follows a clear path. When you get to the trim mailbox at Sledo, turn right and follow a path for a short distance before turning off the path to the left and follow the red markings towards the top. Ádjit is the closest mountain you see straight ahead and to the right on the way up. Follow the valley up and a bit towards the back of the mountain, where it is easiest to get up. Once you're up, you have to follow the ridge for approximately 800 m to the southeast before you get to the cairn.
