This (was) the standard route on the East Face. From the shelf near Zurbriggens ascend left towards the south side of two prominent buttresses (variations ascend the buttresses when the rocks are not iced up), then up slopes to the left of the buttresses and through the rock band to reach the summit ridge either just below the summit or direct to the summit itself.

This route, and variations of it, were obliterated by the 1991 rock avalanche.
