Description 

Thin crimping leads to fun sandstone jugs on the easy ending. Mind your footwork on this one and be open to some side-to-side route finding to find the path of least resistance. Black Buttress is a nice, pure vertical testpiece for the grade.

Location 

Just left of the dihedral Mossy Gully forms.

Protection 

Webbing, trees. I recommend using the anchor setup on Black Buttress for it and Mossy Gully as less wear results on Black Buttress.
