P1 - Climb the hands to wide hands to O/W splitter to the base of a chimney. Belay of off small cams and a #5. Fun Pitch! ~100ft (5.10) 

  P2 - Mantal the loose block, clip the bolt, Do some really fun exposed chimney moves, then work your way up a long chossy corner clipping another bolt at about 60ft. Pass that bolt continuing up until the only obvious climbing is to traverse left. Take a deep breath and fearlessly launch into the traversing choss fest through a 5.9 roof, R/X. Pull the roof and traverse left a short distance until you find a ledge with a poor gear anchor.  ~170ft (5.9 R/X) 

  P3 - Continue to traverse left placing marginal gear until you get to an arete. Pop around the arete and hand traverse left until you can drop into a chimney. Belay off of a tree. ~50 feet (5.7 R) 

  Only the first pitch gets 2 stars. The 2nd and 3rd pitch are reserved for people with a very strange attraction to dangerous choss.

Pitch 1: Climb a hand crack to an open belay at the limestone band. Pitch 2: Continue up a finger crack.

A Red Rocks route with Sedona atmosphere.  Great views, well protected on very good rock.  All day shade. 

  Pitch 1) 40' 5.9 Sport.  Start in a pointy tree, or campus in from 5' left of the tree on jugs (V2).  Follow 4 bolts to a big ledge, then walk left to belay under a roof. 

  Pitch 2) 90' 5.11 Sport.  Pull the roof and follow bolts to a sweet little belay seat.  10 bolts.  Great Pitch!!! 

  Pitch 3) 60' 5.9 crack.  Traverse right past 3 bolts to a corner.  Don't place gear too soon in the corner (drag).  Follow the corner to a belay out left on a small ledge.  Save a #3 and #3.5 Camalot for just after the chimney. 

  Pitch 4) 90' 5.10- sport.  Follow bolts to the top.  Another great pitch!!  11 bolts. 

  Descent:  Rap the route with 1 60m rope.  Be careful not to let go of the ropes, as the 2nd rap requires a big swing to the left.  With 2 ropes you can reach the ground from the top of pitch 3. 

Pitch 1: Jam the wild, clean zig-zagging thin crack. 

 Pitch 2: Unknown.
