A more difficult and less straightforward alpine route on Dirruhorn. It is a technical ridge climb with sustained exposure and more demanding climbing than the west ridge. The line is documented as a mountaineering route on the peak, but it is less commonly used than the standard ridge ascent. Snow, verglas, and loose rock can increase the difficulty considerably. It demands solid alpine experience and careful judgment. Objective hazards and route-finding issues are part of the climb.
