A fairly short climb up a dihedral corner behind a large pinnacle. Good finger jams lead up to chill ledges around a small overhanging block.

Bolted with anchors.

I'd Rather be at White Bluff

Dial 911


Finger sized crack that trend up to the right on a slight overhang. Clear the mantle and continue onto a second face climb further back to end. 



Belay should be located right next to a small tree before walking around the arete. 

Bolted with fixed anchors.

Furry Critters Direct

This route sits at the edge of a pinnacle and follows up an arete to a striking overhung ledge where the route ends. Unlike many escarpment "5.9s" this rating on this route is fair. The crux of this route is pulling onto the face just below the anchors. With both a good rest before the crux move, and the bolt line directing your falls out into space, this is a great lead for new climbers.

The rock on this climb can stay wet longer than others in the area which is of particular concern as this can make the final moves extremely insecure.

As a final note, the draw line on this route makes cleaning on the way down difficult (particularly if you rappel). It is best to have a second clean on their way up.

This route is roughly 50m from the down climb to the climber`s left. It sits on the edge of the pinnacle and can easily be identified with the striking overhung finish.

Lower or rap off the anchors to get down.

This route is tightly bolted all the way up. There are 7 bolts plus the anchors (if memory serves) so you will need 9 draws. Most climbers should be able to reach the first bolt from the ground.

Hangover Overhang

Three Walls, Two Ledges, No Stars

Gym Faggot

Easy with no rope drag (provided you bring at least 2 double-length draws) and excellent top-out: great for newbies

Climb up the corner and step left to the top.

5m left of the first pinnacle.
Gear required.

The Sound of Breaking Glass

Large ledge before reaching first bolt, then overhang. Anchor is basically after topping out. Lots of rope friction on rock if lowering from anchor

Juggy and overhanging start moves into a short technical move above the cave. 



Located on the left edge of two double stacked micro caves. Look for the first bolt on the top left of the lower larger cave.

Electric Penguin

Both *Korn-erred* and *Nice Bulge* share nearly the same start with *Korn-erred* being the left option that follows a more prominent crack system with a more overhung start.

Korn-erred

Start below a large layback crack on the outside of the pinnacle. Climb the crack and up left to the top.


Good options for gear placement. Rappel down from 99 Bottles of Beer (5.10b) to the immediate right.

Apparently this climb was easier until a piece broke off.

Nice Bulge

Bottle Glass (also known as "Nassagaweya Lookout") is a small sport/trad area between the main Rattlesnake Point wall and Buffalo Crag. Its name comes from the shards of glass scattered around the base of the cliff due to the practices of local teens and drunks. Keep this in mind when selecting footwear for your visit. It sits in the sun year round making it great for early and late season climbing. This area is less crowded than the main wall or BC, but can be busy on weekends.
  
The cliff is rather short in this area ranging from high-ball boulder problem to a little over your typical gym wall. The rock is typical escarpment limestone but is less polished here than at the main wall. Bring a stick-clip as the first bolts on some of the routes are rather high.

Instructional climbing is *not* allowed at Bottle Glass.
