We propose a procedure to follow the weakest ascent along a valley using gradient-only calculations. The device allows one to search for saddles starting somewhere near a minimum provided that the saddle is connected with the minimum by a valley. We define a local criterion for a minimum energy path

Knowledge of the location of saddle points is crucial to the study the chemical reactivity. Using a path following method defined in a reduced potential energy surface, and starting at either the reactant or product region, we propose an algorithm that locates the corresponding saddle point. The red
