Description
Highway Robbers climbs the dihedral on the left side of the Expedited Buttress for 60'. Stem and jam up 30' to a small bulge (crux). Thin cracks continue up into a large, open book dihedral with the left side slightly overhanging. Either pull directly over the final roof, or swing out right onto the arete and skirt around up to the tree (anchors).
Location
Highway Robbers follows the main dihedral is on the left side of the buttress, to the left of a sharp arete that divides the two sides of the buttress, which is easily seen when driving up canyon from the Expedition Buttress pullout. From the road, scramble 30' of low angle, bushy slabs and corner that leads to the base of the dihedral.
Rappel off the tree into the road (if you're cool).
Protection
Small cams and stoppers, nothing over a BD #1. There are no fixed anchors currently, just belay/rap off the tree. A 60m could work, but a 70m was better to get down.
