On 16 August 1904, the expedition led by {{ill|Alphons Franssen Herderschee|nl}}, made a first unsuccessful attempt at climbing the mountain.{{sfn|Herderschee|1905|p=45}} On 19 August, they tried again. Magnetic disturbances were observed by several expedition members, and therefore the mountain was named Magneetrots (English: magnet rock). The first part of the climb was a gentle slope upwards with many overhanging rocks, however near the top, there was a steep wall.{{sfn|Herderschee|1905|p=46}}
