From the Breslauer Hut, follow the ascent to the Wildspitze briefly, but soon leave the path to the right (junction "Urkundkolm/Ötztaler Urkund). Through steep hairpin bends and over small rock steps, it goes up to a saddle, then finally easily through block terrain or on a good path to the unobtrusive summit with a cross. The descent is along the ascent route.
