The normal route runs from the Hagelhütten (1,077 m above sea level (AA)) in the Rißtal to the top. It is unmarked and not easy to find, especially in the latschen zone. It has places that require grade I (UIAA) climbing.

A crossing to the Bettlerkarspitze is possible along the arête to the northeast (II).
