The Buttress lies between Earthworks Rocks and Tranmire at NZ573016
It is the first buttress of a cluster of rocks, that starts at the beginning of the wall, that is reached after walking for about 5 minutes from Earthworks. The top of the rocks can be seen over the wall on the right hand side (from Earthworks) from the path that runs above both Earthworks and Tranmire. The Rock is comparable to Earthworks and Cold Moor with a the problems being quite entertaining. The main wall reaches a height of 5m, with the routes becoming smaller to the right hand side, down to a height of 3m.
I imagine it would be reasonable to add them as an extension to Earthworks, cheers David Warburton
