Nodes in Galaxy Buttress

Great View

Follow's 'Star Chek's' rappel line up

Trad climb left of Star Chek. First pitch is a bit chossy, with a gear belay off stump and gear in higher crack. 2nd and 3rd pitch make the climb worthwhile. (Possible 2nd pitch variant up dyke on the right, unknown grade)

Climb up the ramp out of the gorge, staying along the arete. Nice climbing with beautiful views.

P1. 5.7 20m, 4 bolts

P2. 5.7 45m, 8 bolts (don't stop at the first anchor -- this is just an intermediate rap station)

P3. 5.9 20m, 4 bolts

Pitch 3 Variation: 5.10c climbs to the left, around the corner, to the same upper belay location.

NOTE: The trail from the car park IS the way to go as per the update on Quickdraw Publications. Its is a well maintained trail with just a shitty move on scree slope but totally safe, much quicker than walking the same distance and then raping. If for whatever mysterious reason you want to rap, the rap station is 5 meter left of the chains from top of start check as per pic below. Can be done in 2 raps with a 70m rope or 3 with a 60m. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD PEOPLE RAP THE ROUTE extremely likely that someone is climbing it and you will be on their way, rock fall possible from the top, and its 4 raps instead of 3 if you chose the rap station

Follow the standard line up the first two pitches (5.7). P3: Follow a line of bolts up the arete (5.10c)

Traverses right of star chek, and Apollo 13. Great position. Each pitch is 18-25m and 5-7 bolts

From the first rap anchor down the ramp, instead of continuing down the ramp, rap of the edge into the gorge. Climb the mixed route up this face in two pitches. (Then probably the 10c variation of Star Chek to finish).
