t-h-o-m-a-s's conversations

I'll try ... shown are the First, Second, Third and Fourth Elephant Buttresses, from left to right. The central cleft (open book) between the Third and Fourth Elephant Buttress is called "Huge Chimney" by Rossiter. Zolar Czakl ascends the shadowed face to the right. High Over Boulder lists a route that starts in the cave at the base of the chimney, called "Variation". Erickson call this climb "Left Side". The upper (left-facing) dihedral on the Fourth Elephant Buttress right of the Dan Hare route "Heartland, 5.9+", he calls "Big, Fat Dihedral". The corner further right and down a bit, I believe is what Pat Ament & Cleve McCarty's "High Over Boulder" calls the Southwest Chimney, 5.4. I have not climbed there for 30 years (the only route I've climbed up there was the NW Face route), so I'm inferring these names from guidebook references. Next time I'm up there I'll take this whole pile of guidebooks and try to decipher that right side of the Fourth.

Wow! I think this photo may have been taken from the deck of a house. My family built that house in 1976. I wonder....
