3177m.
Peak above Belalp in Valais / Wallis, Switzerland. From Belalp or the top of the Hohstock chairlift hike to Sparrhorn (Sparrhoru) to the east of Hülsenhorn.
From Sparrhorn (Sparhoru) traverse the ridge. Easy to protect with just a rope. Approximately 2/3 along the traverse complete a short down climb on the right of the ridge to a section of steeper but easy climbing. Possibility to protect with cams if desired. Continue along the ridge toward the summit cross. Final approx 25m of climbing to the summit more exposed but with two bolts below the ridge on the south face.
From the summit, abseil approx. 20m (50m of rope recommended) past two or three bolts (for the reverse route) to the south west from two bolts equipped with maillon rapides and connected with tat. Do not descend too deep into the loose couloirs on the right or left. Scramble briefly up away from the abseil to descend scrambling down the south east ridge.
At the large rocky outcrop do not take the east-facing couloir, instead scramble to the base of the outctop and traverse to the right. From there, follow the obvious path down the ridge. The chairlift is within site when you leave the ridge on the north side, marked by small cairns to hike back down to the chairlift or Belalp.
