Description
Elephant Rock is a great shady destination similar to the Rostrum. The lower reaches are home to some great climbs such as Hotline, Pink Dream, and Fatal Mistake (all on the Worst Error Pinnacle).
Getting There
For routes at the base you can approach from below during low water levels.
From the intersection of 120 and 140 head 2.5 miles west on 140 and park at the 2nd pullout after the main Cookie Cliff one. Jump the stone wall and walk ~50' upstream looking for a spot to cross the river. The trail begins to the left of a few of the large boulders. See this photo for the exact spot: https://www.mountainproject.com/photo/123204201
This trail trends upstream towards the Worst Error Pinnacle. Be careful of Poison Oak.
