The mountain journey enters a comfortable and quiet section on the western slope of Alto del Naranjo, passes through the extensive Robadorio hill and heads directly along the ridge towards the northern spur of Alto del Cubil del Can, the key pass of the route. Under normal conditions, without ice or snow on the mountain, it is an atmospheric ascent along the side cliffs and quite steep, but it does not present technical difficulties, except for a climb (II) at the end of about three meters to crown the spur. The path climbs through the shade of the mountain range and in winter it usually has sections of hard snow or ice. It is important to assess the conditions before starting the ascent and always carry crampons and ice axe. In the channel located on the left side of the climb there is a corridor (45/50 degrees) which is an interesting option when the mountain is covered in snow, sometimes you may need two ice axes. The entrance is in a gap in the rope about ten meters before reaching the climbing step. In case of doubt, it is advisable to go up along the shoulder of the normal route. The climb ends on the northern shoulder of the summit of Alto del Cubil del Can (2,420 m) and continues on comfortable and safe terrain towards the Tres Provincias peak.
