I first went to Sedona a couple of weeks ago. When I first drove in I was thinking, "Holy Crap! There must be a million routes here!" The closer I got to the rock I was thinking, "Ugh....where am I going to put pro?" Lots of big walls.... not too many vertical cracks. :(
Turns out there's a 1000+ routes in the area (according to local guides/ guide books). Have to head back there sometime soon! Nice pics!
Sorry I missed you folks. I was on the trail around 9 or so but took the big western couloir to the summit. Probably missed you folks because I wasn't on trail most of the way. How was your climb? We sure picked a great day for it!
It was a nice day,but I didn't make it to the summit. I turned back at 10,800". Fatigue was my main problem I guess. We took the second boulder field up off the main trail and headed for the ridge. I really like this area of AZ, I'll come back again soon.
Thanks - not a bad trip at all. With all the places to explore I'm probably more likely to find new ruins than check out the old ones... but you never know!

Thanks -1000 routes... entirely possible; there's certainly enough room for them. Though I imagine the majority of them would be rated R or X!

Re: Great JobI appreciate it. And Sedona has a way of making moderate hacks such as myself into good photographers!
