A fun line up a deep dihedral. Big holds, sinker jams, good spots to place gear. This is a great line for a beginning leader. Great movement between nice ledges.

Fun arete climbing up rock that is better than it looks. Real fun movement for the grade! Crux is a balancey move before the last bolt.

The furthest right of the 4 sport lines on the wall.  This is an OK sport line if you are in the area.   

  Also I am told that the other 3 sport routes on this wall are decent and all go at 5.10b/c-ish.  However, I have not climbed them and therefore did not enter them into the database.  If anyone has experience with these routes please feel free to add them.

Fun technical face climbing on slightly delicate rock. Past the last bolt is lichen covered rock that will clean up with time.

Short, one move wonder route that feels more like a highball boulder problem.  Start right of the bolts to get into the pit, clip the first bolt, move left, clip the 2nd, and jump to a great jug. Follow more jugs to the top.

Nice line, fun crux after 3rd(?) bolt, find a nice right hand crimp and bump to a better edge. A bit of a run-out at the top.

The Little Things. A reminder that not all good things have to be big and bold. This was my first bolted sport route, and it serves as a milestone for my route development. Scalloped sandstone invites you toward a head wall of black and brown oxidization with crisp horizontal openings and unique patina shapes.

This a very nice (albeit short) route, and IMHO the best route in Lower Pumphouse.  It has fun moves on great rock.  

  Steep face moves lead past a few bolts to a crux near the top.  The crux is protected with a nut and/or a .5-ish Camalot.

Instead of climbing the bolted sport lines, climb straight up the crack! There are plenty of spots for good gear placements, and it makes for a much more engaging climb. Good for newer trad climbers too

 *also if someone has info on who got the FA / what this trad line was originally named I can update the description 

A short & easy sport line to a bolted anchor.  Work up arete, then up & right into a corner to a bolted anchor that is shared with another route immediately right.

Bouldery start to a sturdy move mid-wall, if I recall you have to trust a decent left side pull to clip and slap past for a better hold.

Start to the right of the unknown sport line 5.9 and climb up to the wide crack at the beginning.  mount/ balancing your way on top of the ledge, to the crux sequence moving up the diagonal finger crack  

 anyone know if this is in an old guidebook/ who got the FA?I named this in coordination with the theme of Emily prime/ snakeboy. Also this could be harder than 5.11, I had a hard time trying to pull the upper crux moves cleanly

Start at the base of a prominent arete. Bust some thuggy moves on big holds and fingercrack pods just right of the first bolt. Clip the bolt and transition left to an super fun layback rail to a break near the 2nd bolt. Interesting movement and rock leads up a few more bolts with slightly easier climbing. Clip the last bolt and do some very techy/balancey moves up a vertical crimp rail and slapping the arete.  

  Clipping the chains will be a lot harder if you are short!

Climb up featured rock that is littered with jugs, hand jams and generally fun climbing. Route was cleaned on rappel. Some loose rock may still exist but overall quality is quite good. On the first ascent I forgot my shoes and had to borrow Iain’s. They did the job but happened to be two sizes too small...Ouch! The anchor is currently a sling and quick link on a large tree just behind the one that can be seen at the top of the route. A proper bolted anchor will be added soon.

Thin powerful start to a big move to a bad/good sloper. Cutting here will swing you in to your belayer. A powerful line with some sandy sloping edges. Sketchy last clip at the top as you move right to the anchors!

Do an easy but funky move to get on the rock.  Face climb past 2 bolts to get to the crack.  A short crux (.75 camalot?) leads to a nice handcrack, which leads to a bolted anchor. 

Left Line (1st bolt) is the Original line. Stick clip! Thin moves on sandy edges. Right Line is the good hands crack about 6' to the Right of the Arete. A couple of good hands pieces will protect this .10a line well. Big jug shows up to make getting to the 2nd bolt cruiser. The fun begins after that through the 3rd bolts where perplexing crux delivers. Stay left for reward or bail right if you can't hang.Get ready to rumble.

Odd start, sorta contrived but the fun is up higher. No real crux, just fun hero climbing at the top on really good holds. Very overhung, but relax, great holds will appear.

Wide Fun! Kneebars, stemming, chicken-wings some face holds inside. The Crux is the spider webs!

Short cragging on sandstone in a beautiful, shady canyon.  Mostly sport, but a few trad routes also.  Rock quality ranges from very good to not so good.  This is a nice place to beat the heat when the rest of Sedona is baking hot. 

  To the best of my knowledge, most routes were put up by Dave Pastor and are unnamed.  If anyone has more info, please contribute anything you can provide.
