Just above the first set of chains on Right Dihedrals. If desired, you can skip the first two sets of anchors and take it to the sloping ledge at the third set. Photo Credit: Chase Krumholz

June 2006 - this little sign off the service road marks the approach trail down to the buttress. We left our packs here (hang them!)
View from the approach trail. This is the left side of Rock Spring Buttress. The valley of Jackson Hole is below.
What happens if you don't hang your trekking poles - the marmots eat your rubber grips! grrrrrr
