Y Crack Buttress

California > Tahquitz & Suic… > Tahquitz Rock > (a) Northeast Buttress

Description

This small formation is a few hundred feet past the far left end of the North Face.

Getting There

The shortest approach is the North Face trail. If you aren’t familiar with the area, the best strategy may be to take the main approach trail up to Lunch Rock, then hike left along the base of the rock. From the base of the North Face, hike left, past the last route (Northeast Farce) until you see the obvious upside-down “Y” of The Y Crack. Do some third class scrambling to get up to the base of the wall. From the top of either route, it is possible to downclimb off the back.
