Bitty Buttress

This is a great line up the exposed and interesting buttress.

P1. Start at the low point by a fallen tree, and head straight up the crack systems. The exact route is probably the line of least resistance, but many variations are possible. This is the longest pitch and the best of the three. Belay on a big ledge.

P2. Take the corner to the right, and crank up the large dihedral.

P3. Continue up the right-facing dihedral. The technical crux occurs after #2 Friend placement. This is your last placement for the next 15 feet. Move up through the thin, balancy crux, and finish left on a large ramp.

It is another Ament classic.

A standard rack.
