After steepish start, you come again into broken ground. Then you climb a vertical ladder. Various iron leads on, first almost in the fall line, then rightwards along a ledge, always with a clear view of the most beautiful mountain scenery of the Upper Engadine. Along another rock band "Piz Trovat II" branches off to the right. A short descent leads to a suspension bridge over a deep couloir, then comes the key passage, the headwall: almost vertical, but plastered with metal aids. You may still get a sweat up, but don't be afraid; this is controlled adventure. A taunting tap with a sign leaves no doubt where the nearest (beer) filling station is. Its still a long way off. More climbing, almost consistently on iron rungs, with little rock contact will have to be mastered. Finally, the steep terrain eases off and, a little to the left of the summit, you can climb out onto the scree bedecked roof of Piz Trovat.
