Some of The Butte's easiest and best warmups are on this face, along with a few of its hardest climbs as well.

If approaching from the Rio Grande trail, keep right of the ridge, and you'll come up immediately below the East Face. When approaching from the Sunnyside Trail parking lot, this is the first face you will see as you crest the approach trail.
