Description:

The left crack/dihedral on "Bison buttress" starts at a ledge about 6' up, the 1st moves to mount the ledge are not protectable so a bouldering pad or a good spot might be helpfull. Once on the ledge place a hex or cam at head level and continue up the slightly over vertical crack with good holds on either side of the crack, also good hand and fist jams in the crack. This will be a hard 5.7 if leading on gear. 5.7+++

loved this route. My 2nd ever route and I went up with no problems on the first try. Plus it helped to have long arms and legs.

duskerhu and I decided to climb and name this route after not finding it in the Falcon guide, however we are pretty sure we are not the 1st people to climb this route, if you have info on the proper name of this route please PM me.
