[Hide Comment] Very fun route! First pitch is classic Sedona 5.9 face climbing; second is very clean fingers to hands crack climbing with an airy roof finish. Easy approach, easy to find, good climbing. Started the route at 3 pm and was out by 5:30. Great for a short warm afternoon. Shady till 4pm. Sep 22, 2016

[Hide Comment] The first pitch is a little crunchy and sandy but the second is excellent! I loved this pitch. Clean Sep 15, 2020
