Landward Buttress

  • 1 - The Left Hand of Darkness

    Grade: 5a | First Ascent: -1978
    Rating: 0

    Climb the prominent right-leading flake to the overlap, then finish using jugs on the right. A slightly harder finish is possible by moving left beneath the overlap then pulling over the left edge.

  • 2 - Right-hand Man

    Make awkward moves to gain the left-leaning flake, step up, then use holds on the right wall and finish up a short groove.
