OverviewThe B.E. Butress (not my name for it, however according to many books and some climbers that is indeed the "official" name) is an enjoyable granite crack climb located at the bottom of Little Cottonwood Canyon's south side. There are several routes here and there can be several groups out on it on any given weekend so do not count on being alone. Still this area offers enough challenging climbs to keep you coming back for more and more.
