Drohmo was first attempted by a Swiss team in 1949, but they were unsuccessful. To date, no one has summited the main Drohmo peak. However, the central summit was first climbed in 1998 by Doug Scott and Roger Mear via the southpillar. Another ascent of the central summit in 2002 was successfully executed by the Slovene Aleš Koželj and Mitja Šorn but they took a different route via the south pillar.
