Water sculpted coconino.
Nice overview from the east rim.
Route topo and my secret passage approach into the Ultimates from Newman Park exit of I-17. The log noted north of the parking (.8mi on 253G) is not there anymore though there is usually a cairn. If you are under powerlines you went too far. When hiking down the hill, aim for the 'treenis' off to your right (drawn on map) and faint trail will appear. Not all routes shown.
Inside The Secret Passage.
The Ultimate Finger Crack area. From L to R: Ultimate Traverse (red), Ultimate Finger Crack (yellow), Twist of Fate (purple), Ultimate Dirty Sanchez (orange), Semi-ultimatic (green), Ultimarete (blue)

A beautiful Sendtember day in the Ultimates. Ultimate Finger Crack is located on the right wall of the big slot. The steep splitter is Twist of Fate, and continues in the wide corner above.<br> Photo: Jacob Dolence
Hike upstream from UFC and you will find this route on the right just around the corner from the overhanging swooping white/orange wall. This is right before the canyon opens up and before James Canyon's mouth.<br> <br> Route is on east side facing north. Crack to 5 bolts.<br> <br> Any info?<br> <br> There are also three bolted face climbs up the grey slab climber's left of this route in the photo. They all face north as well and are in a gully. They look good!
