You will depart from the Whymper Refuge at midnight and continue on the northeast direction leading to the well recognizable gap in the rocky belt on the western ridge. Following the steep snow and ice slope you will reach the Veintimilla Summit in 5-6 hours. Then you will traverse across to the Whymper summit, the furthest point from the center of the Earth. The ascent will take up to 10 hours approximately and usually climbers descend to the Refuge in four-five hours.
