This route has excellent rock climbing. It’s best to follow a weakness on the right side, although the centre of the buttress has been used (grade 15). Follow the snow slope to exit onto the South Summit. In 1967, this route was a major psychological breakthrough in face climbing and was heralded as a classic.
