Egyptian Amphitheater Bastion Wall, the Ghost River Wilderness The Egyptian amphitheater is the north most rock climbing area in the ghost and is also home to some of the most moderate routes in the ghost. The walls tend to be less steep and made of generally good quality rock with excellent natural protection.
THE GARGOYLE 5.10a, 280m
The route climbs up amazing water worn, stippled rock connecting crack system with long run out slabs (30m) of easy and airy climbing. The crux’s are all well protected and the gear is good. Route finding is tricky. One bolt was added (with a hand drill) for the 3rd belay. The route finishes via the Kain Route.
