5. East Buttress

The East Buttress of White Ledge is located high up and right of the main face and separated from it by a rubble filled gully and small blocky walls. This crag has a wonderful view and is sunny and warm late into the day. As with its neighbor, White Ledge, previous climbers have explored here but not recorded their climbs. A very strange old quarter inch bolt (circa 1970’s?) was found a few feet from a good crack on the left side of the face with no indication of where (or if) the climb went from there.

The face is between 150’ and 180’ high from the wooded belay ledges but can be rappelled with single 60m rope. Rappel from a large Pine at the top, 50’ to a small 6” diameter spruce tree in the center of the face, then to the ground.
