Southeast Face

The southeast face of the Fortress boasts some of the best and longest multi-pitch routes on the mountain. The style of these routes is both traditional and sport. There are also a number of single pitch lines that are worth exploring. The not-to-be-missed, multi-pitch sport routes are Steel Crazy, Fort Stress, and Sir Clipalot. This face is sunny until mid or late afternoon.

Advice for the multi-pitch routes:

Walk off rather than rappel. Be aware that this requires climbing down and up a 15ft gully. Leave your pack at toe of crag as this is where the walk off ends. Start early during monsoon season as afternoon rains and lightning can occur suddenly.
