West of the top cable car station, the rocky surface is covered with a network of bolts. The lines are sometimes very close to each other and require attentive climbing. It is quite normal to accidentally change routes! However, this is a very great training ground for beginners. Thanks to the easy accessibility there are lots of people around the summit on nice weekends. The route described follows the west ridge from start to finish, ending on the viewing platform of the Stockhorn.
