I think this is the beggining of elephant walk but not too shure. We were sick of wandering around the base with a old route book. 5 pitches, 5.6-5.7maybe even one 5.8 crux (don't know cause we traversed a little too the right) loved every part of it!

Lost?

The beginning of Elephant

Walk starts next to a right facing corner and heads up a finger/hand crack almost all the way to the first pitch. Here's a picture of Brutus Of Wyde doing the first pitch of Elephant Walk.

Re: Lost?

What route is this then. It was a little bit more of a walk down after the huge left facing crack that i hope is tollhouse traverse. We really had no idea how to find elephant. just guessed.

Re: Lost?

This looks like Beginner Right, just right of 'Elephant Walk'....a spicy 5.8 finger crack.

Re: Lost?

Looks like you were on Wandering Taoist. The tree overshadows the belay. Bolts on first pitch (thinish 5.9). P 2 is 5.6 bolts. P3 is 5.8 bolts or 5.7 move right and up with small gear in corner and on to bolts. P4 is either friction 5.7 bolts or gear 5.5 up the dihedral.
