chimney and hand crack through a bulge to the gully between the tower and it's northern sub-tower, then mantle past a bolt to bolted anchor.

Overhung feet to a wide spot necessitate a lieback on thin edge is the crux.  Not too hard, the rock is good and then the finish is typical Sedona.  This is Jake having fun.

The initial crux is after the second bolt it's a strange stem, hand foot match to top out on a slopey ledge.  Above is a wide fists crack that overhangs a tad that may be the real crux.  Easy rock to top.

The start is face to a thin crack that widens to perfect hands, the rock is harder than lots of other soft sedona routes.  Great hands for a long ways then a short easy OW section gets you to the works.  A 10' roof guards the exit but it's no more than 10+ jams with a bomber lock after the roof.  Steep lieback on the limestone band to exit right and you're done.

Varied route up South face. P1: 5.9+ corner; P2: 5.11- exciting face climbing past 10 bolts. P3: 5.9 varied cracks & 3 bolts to anchors below crescent. P4: 5.10+  up and under crescent (many bolts, some gear) to summit slabs. rap the route w/ one 70m or multiple ropes.

Starts as a tricky bolted face then thru roofs to overhung tight hands in an overhung dihedral. The rock is very clean and solid for most of the way, except the very end, go left to face for a ways then onto the limestone band.

P1: 5.10  TRAVERSE!!! about 100ft past gear placements and bolts to a nice ledge.    P2: 5.10+  CRACK!!! clip a bolt and head up steep finger and hand crack, passing another bolt then up to a ledge atop the column.   P3: 5.10,C1  STEEP!!! 4th class up slab to ledge then climb face on huecos, clip bolt, then thin fingers(aid)and edges past bulge to summit. (will probably go free at 5.12)
