From the Forni, you go to the vicinity of the small artificial barrage and pass it at its base, bringing you to the right of the Frodolfo stream. You skirt the stream, gradually rising to the right for about 300 meters, then bending sharply to the right under an obvious rocky bank. When you reach a plateau, at the base of the S.Giacomo gully, you go left, thus bypassing the wide rocky band, bringing you to the middle amphitheater of the northern slope of S.Giacomo. (an area also known as the rain gauge area). You descend briefly into the basin continuing then slightly to the right going up the wide eastern slope leading onto the western part of the S.Giacomo Vedretta. You now climb to an obvious plateau located just above 3100 m at the base of a short, very steep section. You climb it until you reach a depression. Go to the NE ridge and take off your skis for the last steep section to reach the small summit plateau.
