Description

The West Side - Lower Buttress has three well-protected sport routes on Gold Butte sandstone.

Getting There

If coming from the Rio Grande Trail, hike up to the toe of Gold Butte, skirting it on the west side. Continue 5 more minutes to the first significant buttress, which has three routes on it, all with glue-ins. If coming down from the top of the west side of Gold Butte, hike 150 feet past Mo's Crack, to the last significant buttress, and look for the glue-ins.
