About The Anti-Phil Wall (Rifle)
The Anti-Phil Wall is one of Rifle's largest and most-visited sport walls — 40+ steep to overhanging routes on classic Leadville Limestone that varies from pale rock to grey-blue tinged stone described as 'solid overall'. Mountain Project compares it to the Blasphemy Wall at the VRG for perfect crimpers and smooth pockets. The wall trend is upper 5.12 to 5.13; Purple and Green (5.11a) is the entry-level classic and Shadowboxing (5.14d) is the hardest line. The wall's east-facing shaded aspect combined with the canyon's persistent Leadville seepage means several routes (including the namesake Anti-Phil) can stay damp through the crux — a defining Rifle character.
