Baby Buttress

Type
Altitude
600m
Part of

This is the smaller 35-metre buttress immediately right of the Dragon's Tail. The bottom access track passes near the base of the buttress, with a short branch track going to the base. There is an anchor station at the top. Baby Buttress routes can be linked to The Edge of Reason or Gorse Escape on the Dragon's Tail via a short track.
The second bolt on Baby Bump is a double ring which makes it easy to get off for those with short ropes.

Ropes vary quite a bit in length of course, so I wouldn't recommend Leona's method unless you know what you're doing.
As there has been quite a bit of interest in these two routes I will convert one of the protection bolts into an abseil station at some point.

60m rope came up slightly short on the abseil. It was ok... possible to down climb from the first bolt on the 17 but worth looping a sling through the bolt as an extra hand aid. Probably only 1.5 m off the ground so not too bad.
