Spaceballs 

dean this climb is a great add to a day of climbing in dry creek. way to go. me and a frend did 2nd assent was great a little sandy but just needs some use. came up with diff beta for 2nd pitch made it mutch better second half of pitch was 4.5 to 5 camolot. we only had one so had to walk it. not good for second. over all geat climb. love to do it again some day.

Thanks Dean for a classic route!
I'm surprised how comfortable it was climbing in the shade in Feb.
2 #4's are recommended, 4.5 would work well as well. #5 is not needed. I'd also recommend taking only a single 70M rope for the rap.
Wow, that crux on Pitch 2 is awesome! & the crux on Pitch 3 is intimidating.

If you link the first two pitches and rap down from there it's Space Balls. If you go all the way to the top it's Suck Balls!

Ouch... sorry you didn't like it, but it's pretty much as advertised, sandy lip with a a hard move up to easier, sandy climbing. Curious which section you found to be PG-13? We definitely found the climb exciting, but not overly dangerous considering. Was led on-sight ground up... also curious how the rope drag was linking p1&2?

I thought the 3rd pitch pulling the lip had an element of danger. the last placement was in soso rock. Even if it holds you would take a weird fall back under the egg. Not a life threat, but a good potental injury in my opinion. The rope drag was very minimal on the linkup. Thanks for finding this one! I really enjoyed pitches 1-2. Makes for a great day if combined with some of the other area standards.

Climbed this with Jayci the other week and definitely enjoyed it. Lots of respect for the style of the FA - good on you guys. I agree that the small cam in sandy rock protecting the crux is not confidence inspiring. A fall from the crux with this last piece under your feet, whether that cam held or not, would at best result in the leader getting slapped around and at worst in some relatively minor injuries...definitely no life threats. This pitch was an 'exciting' lead and the climb is more than worth it...especially if you don't fall. Enjoy!

Hey Zack and Jayci, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you guys got on it and am psyched to hear your thoughts. Perhaps we had diff. gear at the roof perhaps not. I do remember down climbing and reassessing quite a few times before.commiting, pretty exciting for sure. Did y'all rap down and do the top of lost in space? Also if y ou read this y'all should go do Inception if you get a chance, third pitch is possibly pg13 and chimney would be hard to fall out of but if you did... Anyhow, good luck and thanks for the feed back. Dean

Sick route. The roof pitch is exciting and a good workout, but not too difficult. It's all a bit sandy but the rock is solid.

Did the 2nd ascent of this route with Caleb back in 08 i think (see his comment above) and lead all 3 pitches clean & onsight. it was my first Sedona tower/spire and i loved it! It just beckons you from the road and I remember the only thing it needed was some traffic, i'm sure it has cleaned up nicely and would love to do it again. Thanks Dean for what is sure to be a classic and Caleb for taking me out there.
