Route Description
make an ascending traverse to the well visible rocky rib. Once on the rib., climb it up as high as possible untill you get onto the glacier. Then head up to the vast summit plateau to reach the summit. Be carefull as you can easily loose your way to the camp in the gravel fields if descending at night, better get up early or take a GPS navigator.
