New Routes on Space Buttress


Four exciting new lines went up this November on the spectacular sloping headwalls of the Space Buttress. Colton Lindeman and Tyson Wallace put up First Contact (5.13a) on the lower headwall that follows a magnificent, multi-colored stal formation 20m up to the protruding vertical headwall; the crux is pulling the 2m wide overhang.

Paul Collis put up Space Walk (5.11d) which traverses the vertical headwall on thin crimpers from right to left before finishing in a desperate fists crack.

Paul and Tyson also put up two more lines at 5.11d-5.12a in the same area. There is also a notable 5.10c in the same area as well as some access lines and route alternates which were used to establish new anchors. These lines do not appear in the most recent guidebook.
