Creasta Negoiului (Negoiu Ridge)

Strunga Dracului is the classic mountaineering line on Vf. Negoiu and is widely cited in Romanian alpine literature. It is a steep, narrow gully on the north side of the peak, involving exposed scrambling and short climbing sections rather than a simple hiking path. The route is significantly more serious than the normal tourist approaches to Negoiu. Conditions can vary greatly with wet rock, lingering snow, or ice, which increase the objective danger. It is best treated as an alpine route requiring sure-footedness and comfort on exposed terrain. The exact difficulty can change with season and conditions, but it is generally regarded as the peak's signature climbing route.

Strunga Doamnei is another established alpine route associated with Vf. Negoiu and is documented as a climbing line rather than a hiking trail. It is a steep gully route with exposed sections and mixed scrambling, typically more serious than the normal ridge walk. The route is subject to rockfall, snow, and ice hazards depending on season. It is generally considered a classic alternative to Strunga Dracului. Because conditions strongly affect difficulty, the practical seriousness can be much higher in winter or early season. It is suitable only for parties comfortable on exposed mountain terrain.
