FA: P. Davidson, S. Grossman
Arizona > Northern Arizona > Sedona Area > W Sedona > Coffeepot Rock… > Sphinx aka Cibola Mitten

Description

Overhung feet to a wide spot necessitate a lieback on thin edge is the crux. Not too hard, the rock is good and then the finish is typical Sedona. This is Jake having fun.

Location

Approach from Soldier Pass trailhead, as for Crimson Crescent but head for the drainage below the Tower, it's just south of Cíbola Mitten and the route climbs the shady notch between the two.

Protection

small to large pro, up to #3 or 4 camalot. Rap from chains single 60m.

We TRd the north face after doing the south face, significantly harder.  The route is shady all day.
