The summit may be reached in 20 minutes from the Vordere Brandjochspitze at climbing grade UIAA I through a gully left of the arête. A more difficult route runs along the western arête (grade III-) from the Hohe Warte. Other routes along the northern Hippengrat (UIAA IV) from the Hippenspitze (2,388 m) and from the northwest (UIAA IV) are rarely used.
