Description
The standard descent for technical climbs on the Sphinx, or a peakbagger's scramble to the summit.
Reach the Sphinx-Wilson col by easy snow from the Sphinx Glacier (Titcomb) or by moderately steep snow from the Dinwoody Glacier (a large bergschrund may be difficult late-season).
The ridge is about 300 feet of mixed 4th-class blocks, easier spots, and maybe some easy snow depending on the season.
