Ascents in The Buttress

Think the guide said 18, felt a bit soft, so 16 makes sense.

Enjoyed this one, followed Dow up it first go and lead it after as the Gorilla area was busy.

Nothing left of Gillette was really worth doing, overgrown landings with average climbing.

Pretty cool for a 13

Wow!

Clean to the rest in the craft both times but not enough juice to pull the final moves.

TR after failing at the bottom. Cool cool route. Worth three stars. Nice move down low with the right hip in and a right hand gaston on small crimpy flake. Launched for the RH jug at the start. The LH cross at the end is a cool cool move, and you can launch for the final jug from there too. At the LH cross you can lock your RH fingers in and go as high as you can with the L hand. Higher feet at that point helps too.

Great little sneaky sport route

Barefoot

Pleasant after edging around the nervous start

Dropped a few nuts on Karl from half height just to keep him focused

I suggest to place lots of pro on this one - I fell on the bottomless corner trying to seat my No1 Rock !

Super fun!

Entertaining!

Forgot that I'd done this before. Very nice route, has some very cool moves in it. TR only.

With knotted top-rope to protect bottom but ended up using it throughout. Need to repeat lead on placed pro (where rock permits)

Finished in the wrong groove - made it easier than 12
