Abbreviated Smoke's Course

with Wills & Em Smoke's course is a scrambling route in the Buttermilks developed by Smoke Blanchard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_Blanchard). With plenty of chimneys, offwidths, and exposure (not to mention fantastic Sierra views) it's buttermilking at its finest.
