Travelers buttress is one of the 50 Classic (Crowded) climbs of north america. It has 3 good pitches of climbing on good rock. The first pitch follows a nice crack system to a big ledge. The 2nd pitch, the crux, has a 5.9 off width section for about 20 feet. The 3rd pitch has an airy step out onto an arete followed by easy face climbing. The last pitch is easy face climbing through a bunch of dikes. It's a great climb and a little more technical then routes on the East wall.
