Description

A short, dirty(not loose), but interesting route with a straightforward and easy approach.
P1. Climb a corner/wide crack on the right side of the north face over sandy terrain to a ledge, traverse left to fixed anchor.
P.2 Continue left on the ledge under steeper terrain to a bulge(crux), climb the bulge and ledges to top. Sedona guidebook prompts to "hump the ridge to the top" yet I found no ridge there.

Location

Follow directions to Flying Buttress and Arch Enemy. Anvil spire is the obvious feature, detached from the main formation left of Arch Enemy. Climb is located on the north side of the spire and well shaded. Single rope rap from anchors on top.
