Sphinx Rock 🚫 Rock climbing 15 线路 在 区域中

On the northern end of the first big boulder of the Sphinx Rock group encountered from the campsite track. Free the move or stick clip the bolt to avoid the undercut start and aid up. Once you get the digits established on the rock climb up leftwards to another bolt. Then rightwards and up to the top via a sling runner. SLCD’s for the belay. Rap station descent.

A classic, steep and sustained arête. Starts on the southeastern side of the same boulder as Winter Daydreams, near to the other major boulders of the group. Up the arête past three bolts to a huge spike near the summit. Up to the rap station.

The next nine routes are on the long and narrow boulder behind the Sphinx proper.

The first route on the left hand end of the boulder. Don’t fall off, there isn’t any gear… Bridge onto the wall then up until a few moves right are necessary to gain a small ledge just below the top. Nut and SLCD belay. FA: Scott Camps (Solo) April 1986

Not well protected either. Start in the middle of the wall as per Snow White. Head diagonally left to a shallow runner slot, before continuing left on jugs until it is possible to move up and right to finish.

Exciting. Start in the middle of the wall below the bolt. Pull onto the wall and head up past the bolt with a move to the right near the top to reach a large spike.

Well protected. One metre to the right of Snow White step off the block and move up to a bolt. Move out right passing two more bolts before a sharp move left leads up a shallow corner on jugs.

Steep and strenuous, overhanging about two metres over ten. Starts on the opposite side of the causeway about twenty metres right of Vagabond. From the bolt step left over the void and head steeply up past a second bolt and slinging a spike. Step left and up the water streak to finish.

From Vakula The Smith, scramble around to eastern side of the opposite boulder. To the left of the chimney is an arête.

Up with difficulty to the huge jug on the arête and then continue up the slab to the top.

Four metres right of Alex In Wonderland head up to a bolt via a hollow sounding flake and then on to a small ledge on the right. Left and up past two more bolts. SLCD belay. Rap as for Alex In Wonderland.

Fantastic clean overhanging splitter crack found down gully from Space and Energy block. Hands to offwidth. Toprope, trad lead or boulder problem, it's up to you.
