Strunga Doamnei (Lady's Gully)

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.

Creasta Negoiului is the ridge route associated with the summit of Vf. Negoiu and is documented in alpine sources as a mountaineering line. It follows a rocky crest with exposed scrambling and occasional more difficult passages. The route is more committing than the standard tourist ascent and demands route-finding on broken terrain. In poor weather, the ridge can become serious due to exposure and loose rock. It is a classic alpine way to the summit rather than a simple marked trail. The exact difficulty depends on the chosen variant and conditions on the ridge.
