Description

This is the largest buttress behind the wild cove waste management facility. It is a sprawling area made up of several tiers running to a maximum of 100m. Several routes have been established in a traditional style: ground up, bolting from stances or on hooks and small, marginal pro. Some of the routes, like Shit Hawk (5.10) and Hangover Anxiety (5.9), are relatively clean and protect well with traditional gear, but the climbing should not be taken lightly. This is adventure climbing on rock that ranges from ostensibly good to terrifying choss, much like the climbing in the Canadian Rockies.

Getting There

Approach as for The Dumpwall, and carry on along the trail at the base of the wall running climbers right of the Dumpwall. The big buttress is impossible to miss and climbs are easily located based on several obvious landmarks.
