This route description is totally out of date. The Giglione hut does not exist any more, the lower rocky section of the route collapsed in 1997. The only way to reach the spur is by the Gussfeld couloir (exposed to serac falls).
The route has been somewhat abandoned following landslides on the SW flank.
