Description

The Butt is home to some of the best pocketed overhang climbing on the Ranch. Most of the routes' anchors are accessible from the top including the TR/trad line Butt Crack 5.10. Besides the left most line Half Monty 5.9 and Unclench 5.10+ the rest of the wall is 5.12. Enjoy shade all morning and the shortest approach of any wall on the ranch.

Getting There

Follow the getting there info from the Continental Ranch Getting There section. Take the third class scramble down from the camp grounds and you'll drop into the canyon just to the right of the obvious butt feature.
