From the upper Noeline Glacier, choose a line up to the central snowfield on the face. Depending on conditions, the route to the snowfield can involve up to two pitches of moderately steep ice and/or rock. From the upper left corner of the snowfield, ascend the couloir (with some rock steps in mid to late summer) which tops out north of the main summit. This is the best descent route from Nazomi but involves careful route finding. The steep steps between smaller snowfields can usually be abseiled with only one 50m rope.
