Behind Mittlenberghütte gently ascend eastward to a saddle at ca. 2340 m, where you can see the path from afar. (Descending first and then re-ascending is worth the effort, as traversing the scree slope would be painstaking.) Follow the distinct path, which leads to the alluvial plain east of P. 2577. From here the path gets more and more faint. Descend to the alluvial plain and follow the creek upstream until ca. 2620 m, where a rivulet (possibly dried-up) trickles down from a scree depression in the north. After this rivulet (cairn) traverse north-north-eastward the scree slopes (some cairns, sparse faint paths). Continue north traversing a rubble plateau at ca. 2720 m and a few scree walls. Ascend west of P. 2806 and aim at an indistinct rib on the wide face, on which the rubble is more stable and slightly overgrown. This rib leads all but below Mittlebärgpass (3042 m) and to the remains of a nameless glacier. Now the colour of the rock changes from grey to earthy brown. A slender cairn on Mittlebärgpass can be seen from afar. In early summer it is possible to encounter snow and ice on the way to the col (possibly ice gear required). After the snow-melt there are some metres of precarious climbing (up to II) instead. From the col hike up to the summit on scree and firn.

Descend on the same route. A small variant saves the re-ascent to Mittlenberghütte; descend to Blatt on grassy slopes instead and follow a trail (uncharted on the map) back to the bifurcation of P. 2096.

From Mittlebärghütte ascend to P. 2507 and traverse Mittlebärg. Follow the increasingly narrow ridge via P. 2694 to P. 2801. Now traverse the face to reach a ridge between Binntal and Turbe, where, depending on the conditions, you set foot on the small glacier leading up to Mittlebärgpass. No crevasses. If it is snow-free, however, ice gear is required. Saves ca. ½ h as compared to the main route, T5+.
