BETA PHOTO: The two climbs of the Oliver Perry Smith Buttress.

Description 

Sweet route right off the road, but only if you like things on the chunky side. A great wide crack corner on perfect chocolate, strenuous laybacking and straight in thrutching on good stone. 2 pitches, no anchor at the top.

P1: Up through the wideness, passing several fixed anchors and a wild imposing chimney roof, continue thrutching upwards to a good ledge with a two pin anchor.

P2: Crux! more wideness, thrutch to the top. No anchors, walk off down a descent gully or sling the skinny tree and go back the way you came.

Location 

Oliver Perry Smith Buttress is on the first bank of cliffs right of the Monument's West entrance kiosk. On the right is a prominent recess formed by left- and right-facing corners this route ascends the left corner.
