Continue through the scrub past the Tollhouse traverse and find three Yosemite-like finger cracks with large truck-sized boulders at the base. Elephant Walk is the middle, and best of the three. Climb it.

Double Aliens to orange, Camalots to #2 - maybe a #3 also for the belay. Double set of nuts. There is a bolted rap station.
Just wanted to clarify that Elephant Walk is actually 4 pitches. This description only describes the first pitch. This multi pitch climbs is one of the classic routes at Tollhouse Rock and I'd highly recommend climbing it to the top. The pitches following the first crack pitch are great slab climbing with some mixed gear and bolts. The gear list provided here may also be a little excessive. This was probably one of my first leads and I know I did not have a double set of stoppers or that many cams back then. Excellent route.

Led first pitch with a single set of cams, single set of nuts, the two smallest tricams, and a set of hexes. The hand jams were so good up higher that lots of gear felt unnecessary.
