The very tip top. Too windy to stand up!

Direct start (aka Booty chute) in green, original in yellow

because I can

That's one small step for....

Old piton and bolt on the traverse. This is where you are supposed to make your second belay. We pass it up and combined pitch 1 and 2

The final off-width section and best part of the route!

The best view on top of Streaker Spire. Sedona looks nice in the back too.

Crux move. Just before pulling the buldge. There is a bomber #3 here. Put a hand jam way in the back and then use a face hold to a knee bar to pull over this. Fun stuff

Sorry for blurry photo. This is the belay at top of P2. Be sure to backup w/gear. Would like to add a bolt to see if we can extend the life of this little juniper.

Both rap stations have a bolt (or bolts) and drilled angles (pitons). Can the pitons be removed and replaced with a "real" anchor bolt? At the top rap station, there were 2 bolts and a drilled angle. Kinda messy.

There's climbing gold in them thar hills.

starting up Pitch 4

I think this is the chimney on P2. May be the last bit of chimney after the roof. Either way, a fun bit of groveling.

On the last pitch

Ian coming up P2

Drilled angle backed up by an old bolt with an old Leeper hanger. Probably need to remove the angle and/or replace the bolt.

Looking back at the limestone shelf. Note the drilled angle in wall.

the incredible summit view (this doesn't even do it justice)

Looking up at the off width to finger crack on the start of the 3rd pitch

Critical "last seen alive"

Greg following pitch 3. Fun stuff

Streaker Spire (far right) from the approach

starting the easy slab part of pitch 3

Bromance shot at summit.

I believe this is the "Booty Chute" start. Looks like *ss to me!

the pitch 1 traverse

David peering around the corning on the traverse. This is where pitch 1 ends but you can combine them

one rap down, one to go. a single 60m rope is enough. But just barely. The 2nd rap lands you towards the bottom of the 4th class approach area.

Easy bit exposed traverse.

If you approach from the front side, you'll go up a large drainage after turning left on the slickrock patch. Look for this marker and you'll know your're on track. There were quite a few cairns but don't count on them!

Safely back on the ground. I believe that's Gibraltar Rock in the background.

When approaching we went too high and came across this fixed line. I think it's the approach to Christianity Spire but NOT Streaker.
