Well have fun down there Laine and give the egyptian ridge a good go this weekend. The first three new route day would be a welcome addition. I was going to go to Redrocks myself this spring but the local stuff has got me pretty hyped. Please post up your new routes so we know where the newly tread ground lies and a few details of the climbing.

Got out to the Sphinx this weekend. A few of us repeated the route I did with Jon and Maryann (washoe zephyr). Then we rapped back down and did a line just left of it that ascents a black and orange streak. The route crosses Stepping Out only briefly. Very moderate I say 5.8 but a bit spicy on the face.

Looks like you can go almost anywhere on The Sphinx, and moderately at that. Laine were the edges and holds as solid as they looked in the orange streak pic? And did the route intersect Stepping out pitch one belay then go left in the horizontal crack to the next vertical crack?
Tyson, if you liked this crag you'll be blown away by the potential on the next one.

I was definitely impressed. The rock quality was very good. Very little cleaning (as in none) was needed for that moderate little cherry. The black/orange streak in question was bullet, with great edges the whole way.
The double roof just right of this route looks like it might end up being a king line when it gets sent. Looked much bigger in person!

Great pictures. Glad to see people out there enjoying it. After a bit of climbing at a sacto gym with cracks, i'm concluding it will be someone else who gets the FA on those roofs. Sure hope I make it out to the new spot soon!

Next thurs and again on the weekend looks to be the next trip John. Either day you could make it would be great. I might leave the gear up there for another week.

Rick, the orange streak route includes the boulder problem right of the SO belay but then goes straight up where the orange streak continues via a finger crack and edges into a final crack.
Also, we added another bolt to your single at the top so you can rap and avoid the walk around to the base. A single 70m rope will get you to the base of WZ. The horizontal traverse left at P1 belay of SO to the next leaning crack still lays in wait...
Excited to see pics of the newest rock

I see Laine. Intermittent crack and face pretty much straight up but crossing SO's diagonal crack just above first belay. Didn't see it when I was there. All those positive edges peppering the rock add a whole new dimension to the route possibilities. A moderate wonderland, one might have to go overhanging or horizontal to find the difficult ground.

Yes moderate is the name of the game out there, but I'm anticipating the double roof route to be in the 11 range. Super stoked to get the FA on that bad boy. Wanna call it the Pharaoh's New Move (assuming I bag it of course)

I shot this photo from the gunner's window of a blackhawk some years ago. There are a few published routes there now at the right margin of the photo.
