Wallowas - Benthos Buttress

[Jake_Gano]

I was hiking in the Wallowas in May when I snapped these shots of a prominent rock feature looming overhead. Is this Benthos Buttress? If so, where are the routes? If not, what is this? Has it been climbed.

Notice the farm in the foreground. These were all taken from the road.

I have no idea how to resize these pics. Here are links to the full-size versions:

I've only been on it once and I am not sure if its in those pics or not--visibility was bad and I didn't actually see it until we were at the base. The route we did was on the climbers right of the buttress.

 

Do a search of Benthos on here.
