This sector has an excellent grade range, as well as some long routes. The wall is generally less steep than its neighbors, but the routes make up for it with sustained, technical climbing. Since this sector is actually more of a buttress, it gets sun earlier than the Rough Rider Wall. This feature can help on a cold day, but when it’s warm, you will want to hightail it for the shade. Also, this area gets more air flow than either the North
Buttress or the Rough Rider Wall, so beware of windy days.

Cow Town Buttress begins just after the ramp to the Rough Rider Terrace upper access route. This is the last segment of the greater Rough Rider zone area before the cliff face ends and turns eastward into the North Buttress.
