The easiest of climbing Pachnes is to get a lift from a shepherd in Anopoli, though if you're a serious trekker the best way is to make the classic route between Omalos and roussies (below pachnes). This is two days, so you have to camp either in Katsiveli (if it has water or roussies). If you plan that trek, stop at Kallergi hut above Omalos to ask for the whereabouts of water and remember in summer, it's hot in daytime (take 4 liters) and chilly at night. Also a water treatment kit (stove or filter) is a must have.
