There is no fixed route on the terrain along this whole stretch of the ridge, nor are there any landmarks. You can go either way, keeping the direction towards the slope of Cerro Pelado. The summit is another pile of slate, schist and coloured graphite at the highest point of the mountain. It is the best viewpoint of the massif that begins at Puntal de Vacares and continues along the cliffs and ridges of Alcazaba and Mulhacén. The descent returns along the same path to avoid the steep eastern face of Cerro Pelado, about two hundred metres, and when the terrain is comfortable for descending along the slopes, you must head east along the large valley formed by the source of the river Trévelez.

An effort "on par" with the views of the main peaks of the Sierra Nevada massif.
