Description Suggest change

Bilbo Buttress is a long, mostly west facing wall with a variety of crack and face climbs. 

The rock quality here isn't the best and tends to be fairly gritty;  interestingly enough some of the more popular climbs are getting polished.

Getting There Suggest change

Continue on the road past Billboard Buttress and it's the first formation to the east.

  • Park where available and it's a minimal approach, a few minutes if that.
