Peak Mountain 3

The Sphinxter

FA Galen Rowell and Ben Borrson - 1968
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This doesn't even look like a climb from the ground, but it is. Many locals break a sweat on this one even in cool weather. The crux is the offwidth above an old bolt. Backside to the wall and just squeeze and wiggle your way to the top.

Location

This route is slightly down hill and past the Ying-Yang/Hari-Kiri climbs. Look for the only climb that could reasonably be called the Sphinxter.

Protection

Large gear to 6 inches.
