Don't Pass this Buck
Took the stairs and took in a smoky view due to the Yosemite Oak Fire. Well worth the detour anyway to see this unique fire tower.

Stairs
This looked like a rock climbing page, but since other people are signing it for taking the stairs, count me in!
Was cloudy the afternoon we went, so no views. Still an impressive rock and lookout.

The lookout may be more picturesque than the view itself...
Took the stairs up. What a gem! Was lucky to have seen the view just two months before the Rough Fire swept through... noticed *many* dead trees ripe for kindling. Thank goodness the lookout didn't burn down.

Amazing views ...
Sorry Dave, late signing this -- when I was a NPS summer employee in 1993, my brother and his wife came over and we enjoyed the views @ Buck Rock. Minimal crowds back then,
even on the warmest days !
Route Climbed: the easy way! the stairs :) Date Climbed: September 19, 2004
Beautiful view from the top, enjoyed talking to the lookout and watching the high altitude hummingbirds at her feeder. It was a very cold day up there, though. The first storm of the season had just passed through...
Route Climbed: Leatherface (5.8) Date Climbed: 16 June 1997
Similar positive hold like that of Owens River Gorge, Leatherface offered a variety of things: horizontal cracks, face, friction and high quality rock. Nice bolt and gear route.
Route Climbed: Mowing The Yawn (.10a) Date Climbed: 16 June 1997
At first, I was a bit intimidated to try MTY as a lead climb, especially with an overhanging base to anchors ratio of 40 feet! But once I scoped the route, psyched myself up and started up on the huge jugs, the fear had fizzled. 'Mowing The Yawn' is one of THE BEST Sierra sport climbs I have ever been on! Amazing vista, clean rock and no crowds!
