Follow the cables diagonally right up to a slightly overhanging ladder, then continue less steeply onto the first tower. Cross this, then descend (chain) into a narrow ridge. Two ladders, vertical and offset, help with the next rock step; the 3-meter crossing in between the two is a bit tricky (crux). Well secured on the second, flat-topped tower (1659 m, observation point - presumably from the Second World War). Chains and iron bars facilitate the further ascent over steep terrain. Then its easy going along the ridge to the final bridge and to the summit meadow of Baraghetto (1694 m).
