The most popular option (used on the first ascent, 101i on topo) starts up the obvious corner. Continue up the corner for about four pitches, then choose a route up the upper slabs, weaving back and forth as necessary to bypass overhangs (crux 16-17 depending on routefinding). There are many variations on the upper third of the buttress.

The route is left of the prow as you look up at it. I think the reason it has been described as right of the prow because it means trampers right ie climbers left
