The Great Steps of Cheops

The route starts on a left slanting crack in the gulley to the left of the Sphinx. Climb left until the slanting crack meats a vertical crack with a smooth face on its right. This portion is best climbed as a layback to the right. The first few moves of this section are the clear crux of the route. As this crack ends, climb massive jugs straight up, placing gear in a sequence of left-slanting cracks that are passed.

Starts a few feet left of

The Sphynx

Gear from micro-cams up to a #3 Camalot. There are surprisingly many opportunities to place small gear, especially TCU's.
