The North Ridge is the classic documented alpine route on Silberhorn. It is a serious mixed and rock ridge climb, typically undertaken from the Jungfraujoch area with an approach to the base of the ridge. The route is exposed and requires secure movement on steep snow, ice, and rock, with route-finding often important in poor visibility. Conditions can vary greatly, and the ridge may be corniced or icy. It is a mountaineering objective rather than a hiking route. The descent is commonly made by the ascent route or by a combination of ridge descent and glacier retreat, depending on conditions.
