Description

This four-five pitch-tall buttress is the main event of the Deadman Buttress area. It features comfy belay ledges and nearly all routes are able to be rappelled. There is an exposed arete (Deadman Arete) that frames the left side of the buttress and a wall with high-quality climbs to its right. Individual pitches on this wall can be linked together to create an adventure of whatever difficulty you seek

Getting There

Follow Deadman Buttress approach directions. See topo.
