Looking across from Guide's Route to the central buttress in the vicinity of the route 'Ptarmigan Tower'.
Climbers on an unknown route.
June 2006 - this little sign off the service road marks the approach trail down to the buttress. We left our packs here (hang them!)
View from the approach trail. This is the left side of Rock Spring Buttress. The valley of Jackson Hole is below.
What happens if you don't hang your trekking poles - the marmots eat your rubber grips! grrrrrr
