Northwest ridge from the Grünhornlücke side
This ridge line is a documented alpine ascent option on the mountain, approached from the glacier saddle side. It is a mixed snow-and-rock route with typical Bernese Alps exposure. The ridge requires steady movement and comfort on unprotected terrain. Glacier approach and cornice or snow conditions may affect the safest line. It is less straightforward than a simple snow climb and is best suited to experienced mountaineers. Depending on conditions, parties may combine it with other Fiescherhorn routes.
