Cheops

Rarely done Cheops is a decent face climb, albeit being in such proximity to its most famous neighbor. Approach from the base of Sphinx Crack and walk along the ledge to its left end. This can be approached from below via a wide chimney, if one is so inclined. Face climb a clean yellow wall on 8 - 10 bolts.

This is friable stuff, although it has held up over the years. Climbing is on edges and flakes and would be largely forgetable but for the fine position on a smooth wall. Hike off to the left, or scramble up right to top rope the most significant crack in Colorado.

Quick draws and a rope.
