Description
Pitch 1 - 100ft 5.10 Pull onto the next buttress on jugs moving left then up passing a bolt and aiming for the obvious corner. At the top of the corner pull around left onto the face and follow the angling crack. Careful where your rope runs when pulling out of the corner as it likes to get pinched. Climb past an expanding flake (don't place gear in the flake! Just clip the bolts) and pass a few more bolts leading to a ledge with the anchor
Pitch 2 - 130ft 5.11 (5.10 A0) Move left up an angling ramp towards a roof. Traverse left under this roof (crux, or pull on the fixed nut to make it 5.10). Continue traversing left until you can pull up through the roof on jugs with wild exposure! I placed a few bolts here because of the hollow sounding rock, but everything stayed in place when I pulled with a large crowbar . Continue up the fun crack, then lower angle terrain to an anchor on top of the buttress
Descent - 70m rope required, both raps are rope stretchers, so tie knots! Rappel angling climber's right through some bushes to a bolted rap anchor next to a large tree growing straight out of the cliff. From here, rap climber's right again down a bushy ramp until you pass around a tree, then straight down the face to the anchor at the top of Butte-r.
