On the ascent via the normal route, you remain on the west side until reaching the Hugisattel (approximately 3 hours and 1,000 meters of elevation gain from the Finsteraarhorn Hut), which stays in the shade throughout the morning. Here, temperatures are typically around 10 degrees Celsius lower than forecasted. On the summit ridge, however, the forecast is usually accurate.
