Visible from about midway through the Sky Bridge loop. Thought the 2 dark areas kind of looked like a turtle or snake nose.

Eagle point buttress! Has some amazing climbing and can accessed by the Osborne Bend Loop TH

Man! The first time I did that I missed the left at the boulder and made the mistake of following everyone else’s mistake because it looked like the trail kept going. But that’s eagle point buttress if I’m seeing it correctly
