FA: Jeff Lowe and Mike Weiss, 1971. FFA: Jonny Woodward and Peter Croft, 1992.This is one of the world’s great 5.12 free climbs and big walls. After three “approach pitches,” the route follows steep and stunning cracks. Its rare to find such continuous sandstone splitter cracks with so much exposure. Most climbers either climb it in a day or fix the first four pitches and then blast to the top. The route is east-facing and the upper buttress goes into the shade in early afternoon. The best time to climb is in October through April. The entire route can be rappelled from fixed anchors. Rack: see topo. Climber Beta on Moonlight Buttress
