==History==
The Magneetrots as well as the [Tebutop](/source/Tebutop), the [Roseveltpiek](/source/Roseveltpiek), and the [Kasikasima](/source/Kasikasima) were first explored in 1904 during the [Tapanahony](/source/Tapanahony_River) expedition.<ref>{{cite book|author=J.B.Ch.

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](/source/English_language): 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}}
