From the Elbow, we ascend to the Calico ridge starting at Sayeed's gully and continuing up the Physical Graffiti escape gully, then traversing the high ridge northward to drop into the hidden "campground," then diagonal down to the Fox drainage and out.
This is a fairly short 2 mile circuit with vertical gain of about 800' with lots of scrambling up to Class 4 and significant exposure. Some moves are quite strenuous and require good climbing skills. Pace will be slow-moderate.
Requirement: advanced scrambling skills/experience. Helmets are advised but not required.
Expect at least 2 1/2-3 hours
No guests, pets, children.
Limit: 10. Everyone goes onto the waitlist initially until I can be sure of their climbing ability.
