Ascents in Sedona

Had almost canned the idea of climbing at Sedona once I figured how cooked the camping situation was. But my Flagstaff Walmart car nap was interrupted at 11pm by a thankful text from Dillon.

Probably one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, shame about all the rich people with cooked houses ruining the area.

We decided on the mace as our route of choice - a strikingly visible from the highway sandstone tower.

Listed as 5.9+ on Mountain project - big emphasis on the plus at parts. Who knew 1954 FAs might be even thrutchier than the Aussie equivalent. Sick climbing, incredible positions, and the step across the void to gain the true summit on pitch 5 is particularly novel. As well as the rap off the logbook bollard with a rattly lid. Rad day out.

#Barefoot top-rope to clean the route

#Barefoot onsight attempt. Almost got it. Needed to do only one more move.

Great moves, at tines far from the protection. Did it twice to clean

Nice exposed arete. Did it barefoot

Absolute classic climb. One of the best I have m ever tried. Stoked to have sent second go. I just barely stuc the moves on al three boulder problems. Sent at subsets red light

Climbed the first pitch but the temps were in the negatives and crazy windy so bailed off the 1st belay.

Beautiful run and scramble. Super scenic

sandy!!
