The buttress nearest the road has a good collection of easier routes on rough rock. With the added attraction of a delightful grassy base, the place is worth half a day and don’t forget to bring the picnic. In front of and below Gun Buttress is a pleasant face with a small collection of climbs, especially in the lower grades. It is usually quiet and is worth a short visit. Guidebook page 94.
