Bird Hunter Buttress, 5.9

1st, 2nd and 3rd Pitches- 270’- 5.7/ Some beta will suggest something about the middle of three cracks. But the left crack is what you want and what aligns with the route and fixed pro. Climb easy ground on decent rock overcoming a slight bulge (bolt). Continue left and up past another piece or two of fixed pro to a comfortable anchor approximately 150’ up. Handren’s book mentions fixed anchors at 130’ and 180’, but there is only one anchor as of 2010 no doubt cleaned up via the retrofit. I chose to keep going to the next anchor which is half way up the chimney/off width left side of the large pillar. It is hidden out on the outside wall. It is relatively tame simul-climbing to this point. Bird Hunter Buttress, 5.9, 12 Pitches, Rainbow Wall, Red Rocks, NV, April, 2010
