Dave Goldstein on the second pitch of Traveler Buttress. He is just entering the 5.9 offwidth that is the clear crux of the entire climb. There is a 5.10 variation to his left that is hard to protect. |

Leading P1 (5.8) pitch - a great link up: Sur Pillar + Travelers P1 + Corr Corner. This pitch protects well and the 5.8 jam at the top is not bad - do it! |

How to bring packs through the OW section of Traveler Buttress. This effort seemed a tad excessive, but it worked easily enough to equalize 1-2 cams with the piton at this pod and use a 2:1 pulley system. Now to set up the BBQ grill @ P2 Belay. |

Fail. How you should not attempt to bring a pack through the OW section of Traveler Buttress. The lower section overhangs a bit, so my pack kept pulling me outwards from the crack! This did not seem like the way to go.
