Steel cables lead around a rock bluff and over staggered terrain to the base of a prominent groove. Continue the gradually steepening ascent (caution not to kick loose stones down!), then enter the main rock face. Climb the wall (cables, iron bars, ladders) nearly vertically and reach a shoulder. Cross another ladder to reach the subsidiary peak (3150 m). Now bear left onto a ledge and make a short descent to the start point of the large three-cable bridge. Cross the bridge to reach a steep climbing section (use the bolted-on stones for your feet!) which brings you back to the bypass. The bypass leads over exposed terrain past the western subsidiary summit and down into a saddle (3093 m) right below the Jegihorn. Continue, mostly just left of the ridge over to the final summit tower. On solid rock, climb up the progressively steeper and more exposed summit tower, with one section bringing you directly next to the edge of the ridge (Iron bolts). Eventually, the steepness eases and you can trundle over the last rocky steps to the spacious main summit (3206 m).
