I'm surprised nobody's added this classic tower earlier. Looking forward to your route description and the topo you mentioned. Got a collection of links to other websites that discuss climbs on this formation - if you want to include any of those links on your page, let me know.
Updated the elevation. Still not exact, I'm trying to get in touch with Greg Opland, who has climbed this spire more than anyone else, for the exact height.
Nice addition! The "Mace" is actually a formation belonging to Cathedral Rock. A Red Rock Pass ($5) is required to park and hike/climb anywhere in the Sedona area and may be purchased many places around town.

Untitled CommentYes! Absolutely! Please!
I really was unsure about posting this mountain, because I know my photographic material is thin. ANY additions or information is greatly appreciated.

Untitled CommentHey Brutus,
Just sent you an email with those links. Feel free to use those however you like (all/parts of those/none of it - whatever you think might be useful).
Page coming along nicely! I really need to get out there.

Untitled CommentGood start! What I'm missing is the overall height of this feature. 5 pitches = 400 - 500ft?
