The 3 most popular routes are:
- Costao - An amazing option to get to the top of Sugar Loaf for those who have no or little experience in climbing
- Coringa - 5.7/8 (4b/c UK – 5a French). This route has 3 pitches until it reaches the East Face. From there, we'll hike / scramble to the base of another short pitch and then just hike to the summit.
- Italians Route - the super CLASSIC. It is a 5 pitches 5.9 climb (5a UK / 5c French) on the West face of the mountain.
