Description

The largest and tallest section of the Ibex cliff band, the Shadow Buttress is an impressive sight to behold. Its name was probably taken from the shadow that it casts across its northern flanks. An enormous dihedral splits through the center of the buttress, and a gigantic grey roof looms above the boulders below. The rock quality here is sporadic, and may clean up with increased traffic. However, traffic does not exist at Ibex.

Getting There

Park at the highball boulder problems at the edge of the hardpan. Hike straight up to the base of the cliff for about two minutes.
