From the pass to the summit is about 2 hours via the trail. The first and second mandarin are bypassed on the right, following the path and rejoining the ridge. Further along the spur with a snowy cornice and then we reach a steep firn slope (2 ropes). Then a straightforward ascent follows over rocks and snow to rocky outcrops on the ice. The ascent up the rocks involves variable protection. Above is an icy ridge crest, which is overcome by cutting 6–8 steps. Having overcome this ridge, we find ourselves on the summit. The cairn is located on the leftmost of the summit towers.

Descent is via the ascent route.
