Hello! I am a current Wilderness Ranger In the Sawtooths and would like to propose adding using wag bags to the description for the elephants perch. We are seeing increased visitation from both climbers and hikers and the impact of human waste is really piling up. While it is not a current Forest Service regulation, I believe we, the climbing community, can lessen our impact on this fragile area by packing out our human waste. Wag Bags are not currently available in Stanley.
Description
One of the more moderate outings at the Perch, with 3 shorts sections of easy 5.10. The "5.9+" traverse starting p5 is not well protected for the follower unless some gear is left in the corner for a backrope belay.
For the best beta, see Brad Brandewie's photo trip report.
