Ralston Buttes Bike/Hike

Afternoon Walk

One of my new favorites!

Biking from the car worked out great. Though I'd recommend not being as bold and parking the bike at the top of Blue Mtn Dr, vs biking up further. Bypassed the house that's close to Ralston. You'd be in view of the garage, but generally not of the house itself til you get a lot higher.

I was wondering how the class 4 would be, but it was very slanted and had great holds. Maybe only a short section or two I'd call class 4, if not 3+. Downclimbing was a little slower (and has some lichen), but again has great (smallish) holds if you take your time. One could start from the bottom below the summit/crack, or start further to the north and then do a short downclimb/crossover. Below the crack might be a little easier. Where my tracks diverge climbing up and down the slope below Ralston, it'd be better to take the more eastern tracks (less downfall).

Great 360 degree views from the top!
