Climbing

The standard climbing route is the Southwest Ridge, a moderate snow climb that is popular with climbers and can be crowded at times. It possesses a difficulty rating of PD+/AD- on the French System for grading alpine routes but deep snow on the summit slopes causes most failures for parties attempting the ridge.^[5]

Other established climbing routes include the following:

Southeast Ridge (alpine grade TD-).^[5]
East Face Direct (alpine grade TD).^[5]
