The buttress is split by a central crack with the right wall split by a ledge at half height and with a wall and overhang on the left of the crack.
Trad37  Indian Summer 8m E1 5c New
Start 1m left of Summers End and use a sharp crimp to gain the upper break. Make a very long reach to gain a poor hold and the top, resisting the temptation to use (and escape via) the left arete.
