Description
This is a fun ridge scramble that makes for a nice training session. Follow the obvious ridge NE from the top of Eagle Buttress for ~1 mile. Keep to the ridge for more fun/difficulty, or drop down to either side for class 2 walking at pretty much any point.
There is a notable pillar midway through the traverse. The pillar starts off as a hand crack that takes #3s (and #1s and #2s according to some trip reports). The second half of the pillar is protected with 2 bolts and a pin. Once on top you'll find 2 bolts for rappels, a fair amount of bird poop, and excellent views. (FA: Tim Ball and Tammy Graham, 1999).
Bailing (generally to the left of the ridge) is an easy walk off at most points.
