Description
Little Elvis is a funky looking cliff and most of the routes here are a bit funky. For example, the route Love Buttons climbs quite moderately until the roof at the top which is significantly harder than the remainder of the route. The vast majority of the time climbers consider it an 11b climb and lower from the roof. Shark Bait (An arête to the left) is fun climbing that suddenly changes character at the top. This time becoming much easier at the top than the bottom. One route, Dirty Laundry, is consistent top to anchor and is one of my favorite routes at the Town Walls.
Scrambling leads up to the base of three routes (“Cornered” ascends an obvious corner. “Love Buttons” starts just to the right.) Dirty Laundry starts up Love Buttons and then branches out to the right and then heads straight up the wall through an obvious weakness. The climbing up this section is quintessential Index climbing. The crux comes right at the top. Beautiful climbing!
