Help with passage in Beethoven Sonata 31/3!

There's this one ascending broken Eb triad in the recap that I just can't figure out good fingering for! Here it is in context, with the red arrow pointing at the measure where it starts:



Any help?

Do the same as you do in second half of first beat, in measure before that. As fart as fingerings, what are you using right now?

Sorry for the late reply, but I think it's a little to late to change the fingering now, since I'm performing it and the second movement tomorrow  :P

I just had bad technique I guess, after practicing it a few hundred times I think I got it down :)
