I'm thinking about East Buttress of El Cap. I've also heard that the approach may be difficult or inaccessible from rock fall. Any info would be super helpful. I heard the same about Serenity. A couple weeks ago, I did East Buttress of Middle Cathedral, if there are suggestions of nice long multipitch routes. I'm low-key working up to bigger aid/free climbs like Half Dome or routes on El Cap.
I did it last fall. Was there some major event since then? I headed up the talus field from the left. theoretically you could go up Moratorium and be at the base, but that requires 4 pitches up to 11b or c.

The approach isn't blocked, it just walks under an area where major rockfall has come down.
The area around Serenity is closed because of a massive flake that has been slowly peeling off the wall over the last few weeks

Approach via Moratorium and pull on gear if you want a longer day practice.
