From here you climb a couple of ice pitches and then up the face going steeper before you reach the shoulder, the site of C3 at 7490m. After three pitches from there, it is a diagonal way across the route from where a traverse leads to the base of the summit pyramid on the East Ridge. The climb from there is wide open with glorious surroundings but there are a few steep sections before you reach the narrow summit ridge.
