Gain the ridge via the Johannes Glacier, which is best reached from the lower Burton via a stream bed and couloir on the true left of the tip of the Johannes Glacier. Get to the true right side of the Johannes névé at about 2380m and ascend the rock ridge to Pt 2724m (six pitches of good red rock).
Now continue straight up steep snow then left onto the rock ridge which is followed for several pitches to the summit.
