Description 

This area includes all the climbing that is accessible from highway 89 as it heads south from Flagstaff. Basically, it includes everything from the Pumphouse Wash and The Overlook down to Sedona city limits. More specifically, this includes Slide Rock State Park, the Oak Creek Waterfall area, the Coke Wall, and all the other miscellaneous sandstone climbs in Oak Creek Canyon.


Getting There 

Take 89 south from Flagstaff, or north from Sedona.
