Description
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
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.
