Another fixed rope hangs down a chimney crack that is awkward to climb holding the thick fixed rope. This is then followed by an exposed move up a steep wall to an airy ledge. The face now becomes a ridge which stretches without great difficulty to the first summit. Beyond, a rope length away is a higher summit which in fact wasn't climbed until August 1882 by W. Graham his Guides, A. Payot and A. Cupelin. To reach the higher summit you have to descend into the gap which is best done by lowering off the end pinnacle.
Some climbers leave a long sling in place here to aid their return.
Ahead a narrow rock crest leads to the final wall where another hawser hangs in place. The descent is by abseil down the same route, although many people simply swarm down the fixed ropes. An efficient party will be back with their gear within a few hours. Care is needed on the descent to the Torino. Later in the day stone fall on the descent to the snowy col is common particularly when other groups are above you.
