In the backdrop of some of the alps giants this is a less prestigious route, though is a great outing that contains a lot of aspects of climbing.
From the Rifugio Quintino Sella move North over the glacier towards the college Perazzi, passing right of the top of the route. Turn left towards the west at the saddle onto the Castor glacier. Head down avoiding the crevasses, following the glacier turning left around the first seracs, and then making a right turn. Before the next seracs there is a gully in the south facing wall. It takes about 1,5 hours to get to the start of the route.
Follow the gully up, climbing on the left side of it. The first couple of meters the rock is brittle, but the quality of the rock improves as you climb up. Climb up to the ridge and then follow the ridge up towards the west. From the top continue, following the ridge until you can move onto the Felik glacier en return back to the Refugio Quintino Sella. The route takes about 4-6 hours climbing from the base to the Felik glacier, depending on conditions.
From here you can walk downhill on ht glacier back to the hut, which takes about 30 minutes.
