Description:

Park at Cowpies Trail up Schnebly Hill Road across from the east end of the Flying Buttress. Watch for a low contour left along the base of the Flying Butress and continue until below the Teapot. The first pitch begins just below the left side of the teapot. Pitch 1: 12bolt sport pitch almost has a crux for every bolt (5.10-) Pitch 2 is a beautiful splitter corner to the West notch(5.9). from there the route wanders across ledges on the North face to the Eastern notch, from the E notch clip a bolt and traverse ledges back to the west end (5.7). final pitch has crazy exposure as you climb past 5 or 6 bolts traversing under the west roof to the summit on the south side(5.10+). rap off with one 60m. Location Teapot spout- west of the pot,handle, technicolor corner and arch enemy. east of skyline routem pope's dick, queen victoria, pointed dome, 100ft left of where Miami once was (this giant megaton flake fell off the winter of 06-07)

5 out of 5 stars good climbing and great exposure

The rock is fairly good for sedona; climbing is classic Burcham. The traversing pitches make the day interesting and the last pitch is the money shot. Hard and thought-provoking; fairly difficult for 11a.
