Bass Buttress Direct, II, 5.7

10th Pitch-50m-5.6/

Interesting pitch with several aid ropes towards the top on water worn runnel. Real easy climbing and easy pro up to the steeper water worn area. You can ascend the last third of the pitch without using the aid, but it makes for good pro to clip into. Stem and climb up and over onto the summit plateau. Use a large crack in the wall ahead on the plateau to bring up the 2nd. If you try to set something above the route, you will drop debris on the 2nd.
