The Bandaid Route climbs the central buttress on the south face. Start by following the left edge of the prominent snow gully to the right of the buttress to an obvious block. From here move up a left-trending corner groove for a pitch of very sustained rock climbing (crux). Continue up and left to gain the crest of a central rib and follow this to the summit. On the first ascent, McLeod’s crampon was held together by elastoplast tape.
Descend the south west ridge or east ridge.
