Leaving aside the effects of the fire for a moment, beware of the fixed gear at this site. This picture shows one of the lead bolts on the second pitch of Elephantiasis. Aging gear, such as this, is not uncommon on Elephant Knob.

Fully 9 years after the fire, Elephant Knob still shows the signs of severe fire damage. This photo shows the northeast side of the dome. The left-hand side of the image shows the buttress that is home to Elephant Walk and Baby Elephant Walk, both 5.8 PG/R.
One of the many excellent moderate bouldering problems along the creek below Elephant Knob.
