About Sundance Buttress
Sundance Buttress is the biggest and most remote of Lumpy Ridge's climbing walls — a 700–800-foot south-facing Silver Plume Granite face at the far west end of the ridge, requiring about seven miles of round-trip hiking from the Lumpy Ridge Trailhead. The rock is exceptional: dense 1.4-billion-year-old plutonic granite riddled with the vertical joint systems that give Lumpy its famous crack climbing. The long approach filters crowds — Sundance is Lumpy's most committing outing without leaving the trad-cragging zone. Shares Lumpy Ridge's weather cell with The Book (~1km east). ; some Sundance routes historically extended into August — check nps.gov/romo before travelling.
