Hiking

Steep route with plenty of hands-on scrambling required. Estimated UIAA grade 2 in a few small places, depending on the exact route chosen.

The South East Ridge is a steep summit route to East Peak, typically taking 7 to 9 hours return. It’s shorter than the South Ridge but significantly steeper, with sustained climbing, rock scrambling, and exposed sections along the ridge. The route includes narrow sections and rock slabs near the summit, with steep drop-offs nearby, and can become slippery in wet conditions. Some directional markers are present, but route-finding is still required.

Please note that due to the steep terrain and exposure, this route is not recommended for descent.
