Hasn't voted | It was named Elephant Walk because the first ascent party, five of them, resembled a line of circus elephants when each one holds the tail of the one ahead with it's trunk. | |

| robojeda | 5.8 start variation | |
Voted 10/10 | Pitch 1 can also start on the finger crack 5.8 to the right of the 5.7 crack start. The two converge about 20 feet up. | |

| Dave Daly | Ok....Sure | |
Hasn't voted | It's already in the SEKI guidebook. Gotta look at the name to ID it. Mark Hammond did the FA on that section many years ago, not that this is the question. But I suppose that EW can be done that way. As I remember, thin pro and grass growing in it....... | |

Voted 10/10 | Hey Dave, in the book it's just listed as a variation of the start. Honestly I think it's easier than the 5.7 chim, the fingers are thin but the moves are pleasant and it eats small cams & nuts. Excellent route overall. | |

Hasn't voted | I really like that variation as well -- the 5.8 fingers, 20 ft to the right of the original start of EW. Fun!! | |
