Suggested Page Improvements to Fortress Wall Buttress
New Location: Lat 43.70278, Lon -96.18161
Getting There Suggestion
Mini Fortress PathContinue along path beyond Square Block Buttress, this is the next obvious buttress with two wide cracks going up either side of a roof. This is the furthest north face of the Mini Fortress area.Bushwhacking OptionFollow the paved trail from the south climber's parking lot north for about a mile. Just before the trail bends east (and subsequently heads towards the campgrounds) there should be trail marker 4. Cut directly west through the grass at this marker towards the cliff line. Once you get up into the trees a bit, find (or create, depending on the foliage and time of year) the path heading south. Fortress Wall is a small ways south of trail marker 4.
