South Ridge

From Malte Brun Pass skirt around the first few pinnacles on the west side of the lower ridge, then head up the crest of the ridge, which rises in two long steps. The rock is very rotten and in parts the ridge is quite exposed. Not recommended as a summer climb, but rather when it is covered with snow and ice (this doesn’t stop some people though). Probably the best way to descend if you’ve just climbed the South West Face though it has also been recommended to descend the ridge then cross into the end of the Zig-Zag route nearest the ridge.
