Crag features

Situated just north of the pretty tourist town of Sedona this amazing crag features what is sometimes described as the best single pitch trad climbing in the USA. Long routes featuring cracks, stemming and face climbing adorn this amphitheatre of rock. A 70 m rope will lower you back off almost every route. A quadruple set of cams from 000 C3 to #3 camalot will see you right on almost everything, although if you are climbing the harder routes then ball nuts are required. Route grades range from about E2 (5.10c) right up to as hard and scary as you can imagine. The crag is also home to one of America's hardest all gear portected lines, East Coast Fist Bump (5.14-).

The rock at the top of the cliff is quite unstable and is sometimes dislodged by birds or the wind so a helmet is reccommmended at all times. If you are in Arizona or Nevada, this crag is well worth a visit.

Approach notes

Fom the pull out on the corner of the road just south of Manzanita camp the amphitheatre can be seen up high on the hill. Approach by crossing the river then heading up the rocky narrow wash on pleaseingly grippy rock. It's about 200m of height gain from the road.
