The first pitch follows corners and cracks left of the blunt buttress in the right-center of the photo.

Mike Borkowski leading the third pitch. The crux is above and to the left, where the thin crack in the corner disappears.

The crux on P3.

Ron Olsen high-stepping past the 5.7 overhang on the fourth pitch. This optional finish is well worth doing.

Adam about to send the 3rd and final pitch! Great end to a beautiful start.

We weren't positive on the second pitch, but this is Adam Shep sending whatever means possible. Fun route, couple different options.

The belay ledge on the second pitch. The view is hard to beat.

This photo pretty much sums up how I feel about someone having retrobolted the route.

Got it, bagged it, glad we did it, Bitty Buttress! Adam Shep at the end of a beautiful climb!

Yvonne D'Andrea starting up the overhang on the fourth pitch.

The start of the 2nd pitch. To stay on route, at the top of the 1st pitch, climb up the mini-ledge to the big grass ledge, and belay beneath the dihedral.

Poison pill at the top of Bitty Buttress route, after the roof, just before topping off. It's not visible here, but the rock is hanging halfway off the edge, and rocks when you touch it lightly. Much bigger than it looks.
