Description

The Buttress is one of the Eldred Valley's most under-appreciated chunks of rock. One of the only walls that hold the potential for many 5.10-11 multi-pitch routes. The wall has many slabby corner systems which lead to a steep headwall. Cleaner than many other walls, and stays in the shade until 12pm in mid-summer.

Getting There

From CAD Climber's Camp drive up Goat Lake Main to Mile 35.5. Pull over on left beside giant "Weenie Roaster" boulder. Look for pink flagger leading up a trail to the right.
