Description

All the rock to the left of the large gully that divides the buttress. The Left side of the Elysian Buttress is characterized by the large striking Prow that juts up into the sky. This side of the buttress hosts the Original Route, Mechanical Persistence and a few other unknown scattered routes. The left buttress features large fins, the large main wash leading to the buttress and a smaller spire close to the base of the Original Route. This is the largest part of the Elysian Buttress with sections of the wall being 500' tall from base to summit.

Getting There

Hiking up the ridge lines from Elden Springs Road heading toward the largest leftmost part of the buttress will only take you around 30 to 45 minutes.
