Description 

The Resort Buttress is the major feature south of the Wasatch Resort. Some obvious slabs await adventurous climbers. Some of the routes involve grungy approaches and careful rope management. Bring helmets and enjoy.

Getting There

Please see access note regarding the Wasatch Resort. Make all attempts to use the climber's trails west of most of the homes.
