This rocky peak is vertical on all its flanks, which makes it necessary to use leather straps during the ascent. It was first climbed in 1924 by Ángel Sopeña, precursor of climbing in the Basque Country.

Its name comes from its resemblance to the figure of an abbot.

Actually, we only saw it from a certain distance, there is a path that approaches its base, but we did not.
