Description
An oddity for the 'Woo, Beehive Buttress features predominantly bolt protected sport climbing on granite more reminiscent of Boulder Canyon than the sharp, crystally slabs of the rest of the area. Instead of microscopic crimps on smeary slabs, expect jugs, slopers, positive crimps, and the odd solution pocket to leaven the face climbing. Situated in a quiet valley away from the maddening crowds, the Beehive Buttress is a great place to go for an afternoon while your gobies heal.
Getting There
Take Blair-Wallis Road from the Lincoln Monument towards the central area. Hang a left on 705J, then another left on 705JA until the road finally becomes too narrow to drive down. Follow a decommissioned but well-worn ATV trail until you reach the base of the wall.
Per Dean Allison: the road into Beehive Buttress (and Blair) is closed before you get to Blair from the south and at the Lincoln Memorial from the north. This seasonal closure went into effect Feb. 1, 2021, and it looks like it might not be lifted until around Memorial Day. See fs.usda.gov/detail/mbr/news… for details. It looks like it's about a 3 1/4 mile hike into the Beehive from the north and about a 4 mile hike in from the south.
Per Mark D: as of June 4, 2021: I called the Forest Service today, and all seasonal road closures have been lifted.
