Left Hand Buttresses

Type

This is the large, relatively easy angled slabby face bounding the left hand side of McPherson Cirque. The Winter routes on this face are less exposed to objective danger than those in other parts of the Cirque.
The slabby pyramid shaped face between Midnight Cowboy and the Homer Saddle gives good climbing in both Summer and Winter, just pick a line and make it as hard or easy as you want. Worth considering for a shorter day.
