Additional Information:
- The ascent from the cable car station is short but requires crampons and an ice axe due to the exposed ice on the ridge, which can be life-threatening if not properly equipped.
- The altitude should be taken seriously, both for flight techniques and decision-making abilities.
- Be cautious of the Maloja wind; it is advisable to start in the morning.
