From Punta Indren (m 3260) you have to follow N direction on Bors glacier; cut across it all uphill towards a snow saddle
(3700 circa) at the beginnig of the steepest stretch of Soldato crest . The ascension is not difficult; the route is obvious. After first jums follow the thread of the crest, (good rock). Last stretch is characterized by a big rocky wall. You can get over it with one shot (25/30 m III IV-); over there you get Punta Giordani (m 4046 - h 3,30 from Punta Indren).
