Hi,

Does anyone know the name or approach (if it's been climbed and/or named) for the buttress lying at 38°48'33.49"N, 104°55'4.03"W ?

It's plainly visible to the SW when biking/hiking the Section 16 trail.

Thanks,
Andrew

The two cliffs you refer to are on Tenney Crags--Sentinel on the right and Specimen on the left. Both have routes and have been climbed. Specimen has a classic 5.10+ crack up the middle called Directissima. Long approach. Lots of good climbing. Some vegetation.

Thank you so much Stewart! I was wondering why I couldn't find reference to the walls here on the site. I will try to have some adventures up there soon and help fill out some of the site with route descriptions and photos to the best of my ability.

:D
