Lower East Side

This major buttress is located on the lower east side of Mount Wilson. It is home to a variety of moderate trad routes. Although there are scattered signs of early exploration, not much ativity occurred here until the 2000s.

North Shoulder rappel: This is the "standard" exit from the top of the right side of the crag. From the large ledge area, make one short (single rope) rappel to an exposed, hanging stance from a pine tree on the wall to the north. From here, a long double rope rappel reaches third class terrain on the Lady Wilson approach. Scramble down to the notch and continue down the approach gully.

Summit Rappel: From the summit of the buttress, one can scramble west (toward the main wall) and do a short rappel to easier ground from which one can go north and join the Lady Wilson approach "path." Scramble and down climb this (following many ducks) to reach the notch at the top of the approach gully.
