6. Porkchop Buttress

Porkchop Buttress is a good option if you have found Misery Rocks to be too crowded. This area is wonderful on those summer days when the East Bluff is just way too hot. The moves on the climb are tenuous and the cliff offers an excellent view of the Lake. Perhaps one of the best 5.5s in the park, The Bone cuts directly and boldly up the center of the tall and exposed Buttress. This area has become more popular after the inclusion of The Bone in a recent Rock and Ice article.
