From Almageller hut, folllow path to Zwischbergenpass. Turn left and follow the ridge, or drop down on the right after the first top to follow a scree slope or neve patch to below the steeper part of the ridge. The ridge gives fun blocky scrambling on sound rock and leads to a snow dome at just under 4000m. From here a short snow arete leads to the summit of the mountain. 1,200m from Almageller hut.

βeta: Good bivvy spots 20mins above Almagellerhutte next to massive boulder. Palatial walled bivvy spot at the joch before the ridge. | βeta? | |

βeta: Put your crampons on at the first patch, keep them on for the last rock tower and then the final snow arête. Final snow crest is bullet hard ice…no slip zone! | ||

βeta: There's another hidden snow ridge needing axe and crampons after the final rocky tower, so keep your crampons on and don't stash them! | βeta? | |
