South Buttress

Climb the first several hundred feet on slabs center left (class 3-4) until reaching a flat, narrow section, somewhat knife edgey.

After the narrow spot, curl around right as the sheep do with an interesting exposed downclimb prior to interesting route finding up the east side of the south buttress. A bit bushy and convoluted with exposed scrambling split by ledges. Follow the sheep and eventually pull a mantle onto the summit plateau. The actual summit is a stroll to the north.

Descend by a few short rappels and down scramble or walkoff to a lengthy shuttle (Weeping Rock or Stave Springs - might be able to rap something by Aires or a ridge over?).

Start at the upper Pine Creek pullout 0.1 mi E of the Zion-Carmel tunnel. Hike up the canyon a couple hundred yards until one can climb out a slabby drainage on left (class 3). Contour around to the base of Deertrap's south buttress.

Light rack/rope and slings for bushes.
