A classic.
Sustained II and III+ with one pitch of IV.
The descent, described in the guidebook as via easy snow slopes, now involves an abseil down loose snow-free rubble to reach the glacier.
Called 'South East Ridge' in the AC guidebook, but it's known locally as the South Ridge.

βeta: A fantastic long route. Descent can be achieved by continuing over the summit and walking off to the west, an easy downclimb or short abseil reaches a snow slope to descend (August 2025). This is interrupted by a rock band but this can be crossed without great difficulty to regain the snow slope and descend to the glacier. | βeta? | |
