This is the easy route on the Elephant. It takes the blunt arete facing the road. PIED is kind of easy, but a fall could be ugly.

Trunk Line

This is a nice, short route on perfect rock.

Start just to the left of Black Carpet Ride.  Climb straight up through the small horizontal halfway up.  Walk right to anchor for Black Carpet Ride.

Start on a very thin arete with a pinch on the left hand.  Move right heel around right and settle in a shallow divot.  Rock onto heel reach high with right hand to a very bad, sloping, sidepull-type hold.  Move left up high and bump right up to a better side pull and then pull on top.  The crux is moving the right heel over as it is hard to stay on.

This is a decent traverse on nice rock. Climb R->L a couple of feet off the ground, the crux is at the end.

This is a bit high, but...it has nice rock on the Elephant Boulder. It takes the corner around the right side.

This is a nice park with swimming, fishing, easy mountain biking, and some climbing. There is a small entrance fee in summer, but it is free the rest of the time. 

  There are two boulders and a 35' slab behind park HQ and a big boulder on the main park road. They are of excellent quality.
