About Buttress Range

The Buttress Range is a remote and rugged mountain range located in south-central Alaska. Characterized by steep, glacier-clad peaks and deeply carved valleys, this range presents a formidable challenge for outdoor enthusiasts. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with rocky outcroppings, scree fields, and permanent snowfields dominating the higher elevations. The range experiences a subarctic climate, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers, making it a true test of endurance for those willing to explore its wilderness.
