It has steep and partly ice-free southwest and northwest slopes, and surmounts Comrie Glacier to the northeast and northwest and its tributary Pollard Glacier to the southwest.
The buttress is named after Rositsa Kenderova, geomorphologist at St. Kliment Ohridski base in 2004/05 and subsequent seasons.
