Probably the best route of its grade in this section
Approach # 15mins
From the Montenvers station go to the ladders, descend the first long ladder and then two short ladders. Traverse left (with your back to the glacier) on the higher (equipped) path to just beyond the top of the next ladder and before a corner with fixed ropes. There are three lines of bolts, Buddha-bar takes the middle one which trends to the left before going straight up to join an obvious quartz vein after the angle eases. (The easier, left hand line reaches the quartz vein much lower down.)
Route
L# | 5c | 45m | The slab becomes steeper, but holds and little ledges keep appearing. L# | 6a | 40m| An easy angled slab then good climbing to a ledge and belay. L# | 5b | 25m | Easier climbing to the top.
Descent
Abseil back down the route
