South Ridge

2A | PD | II Edit route
A classic alpine route on Fründenhorn, following the south ridge to the summit. It is generally a mountaineering climb rather than a technical rock route, but it still requires sure-footedness and comfort on exposed terrain. The line is typically climbed from the Fründenhütte area, with access over glacier and/or scree depending on conditions. Objective hazards can include loose rock and crevasse danger on the approach. The ridge itself is usually the key feature of the ascent and is the standard documented route on the peak.

North Ridge

3A | AD | III
A more serious alpine route on Fründenhorn, climbing the north ridge to the summit. This is a genuine mountaineering line with greater technical and exposure demands than the standard south-side ascent. Conditions can vary substantially, and the route may involve mixed climbing on rock and snow/ice depending on season. It is exposed to rockfall and route-finding difficulties, especially in unstable conditions. This ridge is documented as a distinct summit route on the mountain.
