Central Buttress

This buttress on the Reay face of the West Ridge finishes on Pt 2617m. Climb the line of weakness up the obvious slabs on the right of the buttress. Five pitches of good rock of mostly grade 12 (avoidable cruxes of 14 and 18) are followed by 12 pitches of loose rock (crux 17). The first ascensionists descended a gully between the Left and Central Buttresses.
