New Sensations

Wyoming > Lander Area > Sinks Canyon > Sandstone > Sandstone Buttress

Hard, short, and old

Left side of the Sandstone Buttress is a short, compact wall, just right of the Longest Yard (5.10+ trad) and left of the Maverick (5.11d). Traverse right on hanging pockets with heel hooking, then Boulder the stout, sandstone flat wall. In 2025 the second left hand crimp is more sloping and what was a good flake match and go hold at  bolt 2 is gone. I estimate this thing is an unsent V8 to a V7. Put that in a route calculator and say: short 5.13 b/c

Location

Left side of the Sandstone Buttress. 70m left of Gunky. Start near a granite boulder, with a overhanging traverse right. 

Protection

Bolts, 1980’s, with 2000’s addition
