Description
As of 2004, this was among the only climbs free of loose rock. It is also perhaps the best crack climb on the formation.
Start in a large recess below a gully on the south side of the dome. Traverses up and right and turn the corner of a blunt arete (5.6). Climb a finger & hand crack left of a pine tree (5.7). At a horizontal break, move left and climb a steep fist crack to a sloping ledge (5.7/5.8 and FUN). Belay takes small stoppers & TCUs. Rappel the gully to your starting point from slings around a chockstone. The gully itself can be downclimbed at awkward but easy class 5.
Adventurous climbers may wish to continue up one of three short but sweet fingertips cracks (5.10+). Rappel from slings.

Location
Elephant Knob - Southeast face. Start in a large recess below a gully on the south/southwest side of the dome (immediately around the corner to the right of Elephantiasis). On the left hand side is a dihedral/chimney that is a fun alternate start to Elephantiasis (5.8). On the right-hand wall is the start of the Tusk.
