Approach
For W face, walk up to Lomnické sedlo and continue another 200m up on the south ridge. Then turn left (cairned trail) and rap off 60m. Belay prepared, it is kind of via ferrata so down climb also possible though not recommended. Then follow trail downwards and upwards to reach the face. An alternative approach comes from Malá Studená dolina via Téry kuloár. It is a long strenuous hike in broken and ugly ground.
The best approach is by cable car to the Lomnicke sedlo and then continue as described above. The "ferrata" is easy - around B/C. That should not be a problem for a climber. Once you climb a route up. Descent the Lomnicky stit via normal route back to Lomnicke sedlo and then take the cable car all the way down to Lomnica. Routes like Hokejka, "Puškášova cesta" are very popular. There will be probably the other parties. Be prepared to join the sending train.. This can influence the time spent on the route and your ability to catch the cable car.
