I remember seeing a topo of Smoke's Buttermilk rock route in a past issue of Eastside magazine; perhaps in 2009. Inyo SAR used to use parts of it as a route-finding training course. I recall doing sections of it; wasn't all that easy in places. Our "starter" for litter lowering/raising practice was in an area of the Buttermilks called "Picnic Valley." There is some nice 1 - 2 pitch routes in that area that the boulderers seem to avoid.
