Description

The buttress NNE of May Lake. The climbing in the wide cracks is better than it looks or sounds. The orange rock is marvelously featured. Lots of sunshine.

Getting There

Get there via a rising traverse from May Lake or hike the undocumented trail until under the cliffs and then toil directly up; about 3 miles and 1000' elevation gain from the May Lake trailhead.
