Location
East side of the central buttresses of the south face of Rinrihirca to the third buttress. Down climb the west side of these buttresses. Due to severe glacial melting, the glacier tongue is gone and the slab now extends to the base of the first buttress. This buttress is a overhanging granite wall of several hundred to a thousand plus ft. It was fascinating. Every buttress is on a grand scale of size and the flanking cliffs are immense in magnitude and height.
