The Italian route, Lion Ridge is the easy
route to the summit, and all the harder parts are equipped with fixed rope
or chains. Though, it isn't easy and you need to be in good condition and
have experience of traditional rock climbing.
If you are heading for the summit, be shore of good weather since the mountain in bad
weather can be very dangerous.
