Description
Sphynx Not exists as a link-up to connect the first pitch of Face the Sphynx with the end of I Sphynx There's a Way. We established this route so that more people would be able to experience the incredible aid experience that is Face the Sphynx P1. This route traverses hard to the right and is even downhill at times. Be sure to think about your second when placing gear.
Approach: climb P1 of Face the Sphynx.
P1. 5.6. Do the same undercling slab move as Face the Sphynx , but instead of tackling the roof, head right along the wall. Continue right using cracks on the headwall to the big tree.
P2. 5.4. From the tree, climb down off the shelf, and then pop back up on the other side to join I Sphinx There's a Way. Dodge the roof, and then head up a very dirty slab to the big tree on the ledge.
These two pitches are certainly short enough to link, but this route zig zags a lot, so rope drag may be the new crux.
Location
Start in the middle of the face. You'll have to climb P1 of Face the Sphynx to get there (you could also rap in, but why?).
