This route is on the south side of the spire, climbs a nice finger corner leading to a notch. A loose start leads to a stance with a bolt and the thin, funky crux. Above, sail up the beautiful finger crack to the notch and step to the anchor on the right summit. Similar but a little easier then it's north side sister.

Tenacious Calculus

One of the best pitches I've climbed in Sedona, with a 15 minute mostly level approach.  Great to do if you don't have much time. 

  Splitter thin hands and fingers for 100 ft.  It starts with a commiting traverse to get into the crack and it doesn't give up until you're on the top.  Very well protected most of the way, but it's tricky to protect the start.  Personally I thought the green alien under the knocker block was good for a fall, but I was glad not to test it.  Some loose rock, but it just adds to the flavor. 

  Rap off a slung block on the summit with 1 60m rope.

Work up a technical seam and bust a gut on the crux mantel. Catch a rest before heading up the 4" offwidth which widens to a flared chimney. Finish with an easy runout to the two-bolt chain anchor.

Spire/cluster of rocks below Snoopy right off the Margs Draw trail.
