Ian demonstrating "high stepping" technique over Limestone Band on P2 (5.7). Note horizontal flaky stuff above. Seems solid enough but some of the flakes are pretty thin so step carefully. You'll need a small cam or two to protect this move.

Ian coming up over the mini-roof. Relatively easy pitch but some loose bits here and there. Better rock quality above.

Thank you, Dan, for this gem of a summit entry. Forever cherished.

Demonstrating our disgust at the hideous golf course that's planted in the middle of this beautiful natural setting.

It can get a tad bit windy

Giselle leads the start of the second pitch through the wicked cool limey band above the Ft Apache.

John Burcham gets funky with the summit block pitch.

All aboard the Earthship! Nearly all of the route is visible from the base. The first pitch is a dark mudrock slab with 7 bolts and a #2 cam placement in the mini roof crack below the tree.

Looking down the first pitch (5.8). Just clip and go and remember to bring your #2 BD cam for the mini-roof.

Looking back at the P2 belay while headed up the crux P3 Pitch (5.9). Views are great except for that damn golf course.

What happens when you eat a lemon and your partner tries to take a pic from summit.

Starting the rap from the summit. You definitely need a 70m rope.

A great day out in the big playground of Sedona.

Final section of approach, cut right on a smaller trail if you want to keep it class 2!

Just past the crux section on pitch 3

Watching the full moon rise through the trees at the pitch one belay.
