Mike and I on the second rapell station off of Mars Attacks. Looking back now, we should have done the 5.10 finger crack to our left. Oh well, just another reason to get back to Sedona.

The crux at the top of this route makes it worthwhile.

Kelsey (prezwoodz) struggles up the heinous offwidth of The Mace 5.9+. I obviously need to brush up on my offwidth skills, this thing owned me.

I made it.... Absolutly loved this route.

This was an epic day, get up this high, and a storm starts rolling in. Unfortunatly, we had already gone past the bail anchor, and were just 2 pitches below the summit. With the thunder and lightning rolling, we made our way to the top, rather hurredly, I might add. At the top, We got a bit of a break from the weather, enough so that we decided to cross over to the complete summit. Once I reached it, the wind and thunder picked right back up. So we bailed ASAP. Was a wonderful day, and a beautiful route.

Here is Streaker Spire, the entire route, follow the limestone band, starting on the left side of the photo, to the first large crack, start up from there.

This is a photo taken of the entire spire, beautiful rock, and a beautiful climb. Traverse the limestone from the left side of the frame, around to the large crack, and then head up to the top.

John pulling the roof on the second pitch during the first ascent. It took us 13 hours for him to lead and me to follow this pitch.

This is me on the first ascent (with Burcham) of Mystery Spire. The 2nd pitch is a funky roof chimney thing. I should put a series of pictures to show how funky the crux is.

This is me pulling the crux on the 2nd pitch of Mystery Spire. You have to rely on faith when grabing the slopers behind your head.

This was after climbing The Mace, which seemed harder to me then its 5.9 rating implied. We timed it right though to get the sunset from the summit. The Cathedral Rocks and The Mace cast their shadows over the valley.

Looking down wonderful Queen Victoria Spire on another beautiful day.

This pic is on the approach of my third visit to this spire. I love it!

I had forgotten the crux since my last visit a year or two ago. Cullen cruised it, then cruised the rest of the route. Sonso45 took on olympus digital May 06.

Mike "Chilliman" Cordova decending his first desert tower. If ever there was a summit worth offwidthing for this is it. The lean /clip/ bridge traverse/ step across is more exilerating than the jump back
