This is where everyone can have an valid opinion. I think that there are lots of climbs in the park that are better than Bastion Buttress. I didn't say that anyone who wanted to climb Bastion is dumb. I merely hinted that there are better ways to spend a day.

BB was certainly a welcome addition to the established routes on the mountain but in my opinion it is not a classic or even particularly good. Take that or leave it. It is possible to climb heaps of other routes and then jump onto Bluff Mt without doing BB. If you did Out and Beyond, Cornerstone and one or two others including Lieben, you should be capable of having a fling at Elijah.
Lots of people have built up in this way. If you want to climb BB go ahead and have a good time.
