The Elephant Buttresses. Most routes start off the water pipe; Tough Situation and Classic Finger Crack can be accessed by scrambling down from the top. <br> <br> The easiest walk-off is between the First Buttress and the Dome. You can also rappel from the top of Pine Tree route. Descent via the water tunnel between the Third and Fourth Buttress is sometimes possible. <br> <br> Watch out for poison ivy!
Please use this new bolted anchor, and try not further disturb the tree.
