Access Issue: Please use WAG bags for human waste and pack it out! See request from the Wilderness Ranger in the Sawtooths. Details

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

A great rest day route at a moderate grade and good views all around.

Pitch 1: 5.7 45m - Start up the crack filled slabs and work towards a chimney and left facing corner. Belay on ledge.

Pitch 2: 5.7 - Climb up and right out of the chimney on good edges and jugs, continuing to a nice crack. After the crack climb up and left through a squeeze and belay from large sloping ledge. (Beware of loose rock)

Pitch 3: 5.6 10m - Move the belay up and left traversing onto the exposed face and a great stance.

Pitch 4: 5.6 15m - Climb up the obvious face on good jugs and a well protected crack.

Enjoy views of the Elephant's perch and surrounding area before heading down the standard Perch descent.

Location

This route is located on what we've referred to as "The Ivory Tower" an obvious feature in the skyline lookers right of The Tusk. From camp, hike up the any of the gullies to the right of the Tusk being mindful of loose rock. You are aiming for the big slabs at the bottom right of the tower.
