Access issues inherited from Frederick Peak

Access is via private property. Do not do anything to jeopardise this.

Approach

The buttress is a short 15 minute walk from the car park and is accessed on the approach to the South Sentinel. At the first boulderfield, walk east straight uphill towards the buttress; The Afternoon Wall is to the left, a small area with a few easier routes.

Ethic inherited from Juicy Buttress

Mainly mixed or trad routes on this buttress.

FFA: Graham Page & Christopher Glastonbury, 2010

Starts at the arête (initialized). Stick-clip the first FH from the ground then up to the 2nd horizontal. Cruxy moves L to get into the steep but generous hand crack.

FFA: Madoc Sheehan, 2009

Climb right up the middle of the face and from the horizontal break at a third height, move through the mildly overhanging orange face. Continue left and reach a right leaning weakness. Follow to chains.

FFA: Christopher Glastonbury & Graham Page, 2010

Starting at the right hand side of Afternoon Wall at left leaning crack (initialized). Layback left along the crack to the alcove then back right via the steep, thuggy hand crack. Take the steep corner of the left to reach ledge and chains. Alternatively follow the easier crack on the right.

FFA: Madoc Sheehan & Anthony Timms, 2009

Starting about 6 m left of the gully, 10m up on the terrace and left of "The Bowen Special" (initialized). Climb up through a small roof (crux), then up a vegetated corner, moving right to finish up the slabby wall/arête past a FH.

FFA: Madoc Sheehan & Gordon Baudino, 2009

Starting 5 metres right of "SSP" at the crack line left of "The Bowen Special". A few tough moves as it steepens then onto a delicate slab. Save a large cam for the upper slab just below the tree. Belay near the top of the buttress.

FFA: Madoc Sheehan & Anthony Timms, 2010

Starting about 30m right of "Banana Bender" (initialized). Climb up slab to diagonal corner, following this straight up. Belay in a comfy spot where the cracks run out. Descend by a roped traverse right about 8m to an easy gully.

FFA: Madoc Sheehan & Anthony Timms, 2009

This climb starts in the gully at the black slab right of TBS. Starting at the left hand side of the wall, follow the right leaning crack to the top.
