Blackcomb Buttress

Looking for info on the Blackcomb Buttress route, is it mostly a 4th class rigdge or mainly low 5th as indicated. Are there anchors at the belays? and would we get away with using a 50m rope?

Thanks

3) No, take gear

Thanks for the info. We climbed the route yesterday (Sat. June 25), it was great, good position on the ridge with interesting and fun climbing. I'm surprised that it doesn't see a ton of traffic. If it was in the rockies the route would be a classic and have polished foot holds. Well worth the $25 for the ride up.

Cheers
