Now flat across the snow basin in left direction and continue upwards diagonally under the rocks of the Grabspitze summit to a broad back. Over the back up into the big hollow under the saddle of the summit. Continue very steep up to the mountain saddle (2700m) and from here left to the ski depot. Upwards on the very steeply ridge to the eastern summit and over the snow ridge to the summit cross (2846m).
