From there across the mountain meadows and through sparse forest in a westerly direction to a cross (approx. 2,100 m) at the start of the broad mountain ridge.

Where the ridge becomes steep and interspersed with rocks, turn west into flatter terrain until you reach the plateau. Across the flat plateau with subsequent steep slope to the summit.
