Description

A secluded west-facing beautiful buttress, with steep hanging quartzite slabs

Getting There

Pull off the road up Big Cottonwood Canyon for the Mineral Fork trail head. Take the trail approximately 1 mile up and begin looking to the east. You will see a lone buttress that looks like a tooth with pronounced clean slabs. We have built a cairn marking where you should begin you march up to the base of the buttress. You will hike on talus and up through semi-thick brush but many game trails will help the short hike.
