The East side of the peak is a short and steep wall, providing an interesting scrambling route, suitable for advanced climbers. It is a rewarding climb because once you reach the unassuming peak, you can admire a wonderful view of the mountains and the lakes around in an alpine scenery.

The summit can be reached in one day, but for the most adventurous climbers, this climb can be combined with overnight camping. If you visit East Route in early season, you will need an ice axe and crampons.
