Description

Jabba Buttress contains a nice mixture of lines. I Need A Shower is a fun multi-pitch corner/crack climb and Blue Light Special is an outstanding and challenging face climb, both of which should not be missed. There are also several good sport routes that range from 5.10 - 5.14, and some good traditional fun as well.

THERE IS A FIXED STATIC LINE IN THIS AREA THAT IS USED BY THE LOCAL SAR AND CLIMBING COMMUNITY. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE IT! IT IS EASILY FLICKED OUT OF THE WAY WHEN CLIMBING. THANKS.

Getting There

Follow the approach trail to the Watch Crystal, go right and look for the left-facing corner of Jabba the Hutt Levitates.
