Comments: I do not think this route deserves so many stars. I found it to be contrived and short lived. If the pitches were longer perhaps it would have been better. And the death army crawl on second pitch...

Location: AZ : Northern Arizona : Sedona Area : Sedona : Moose's Butte Area : ... : Regular Route (5.7) By: Micah Kurtz When: Mar 15, 2013 | view comment >> |
Comments: This is a fun climb. The first pitch is the best in my opinion just because it has the most climbing. The other two pitches are basically just one move. I did think that the pro on the third pitch was very scarce until you get to the dihedral, which made it a little scary. Other then that all the pro seemed secure, no need for a #5 on pitch two, just squeeze in and reach for the ledge.

Comments: Starting in the dihedral and climbing through the roof crack onto the face is a really fun variation.

Comments: I thought this route was pretty fun for how short it is. It may be a tad harder then 8 but the edges are there, you just have to find them. Its possible to get a small stopper in a crack near the top to tame the runout but I'd say its not necessary, its very easy climbing.

Comments: This photo is pretty misleading. The route is actually at a much lower angle.

Location: AZ : Central Arizona : Queen Creek Canyon : Atlantis : KGB (5.10b) By: Micah Kurtz When: Nov 26, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: I am wondering if a hold broke up above the roof. It seemed harder then a 10b and I didn't see any chalk up there. It looked like most people have traversed right and finish on gigglin marlin. I also felt the bolt spacing is a little bold and somewhat dangerous with respect the the ledges below you. Clipping the 7th bolt above the roof was scary. The lower section is pretty fun though with committing crux moves in between the bolts.

Comments: My partner and I actually climbed through the small chimney as seen in the left of the photo. It was pretty strenuous and it had a hard move coming out and around on just little tiny smears for feet and a long reach. I'd recommend slabbing on the face.

Comments: This route is so fun! The crux I think it getting to the second bolt. The overhung part after the huge ledge is cruxy also but you have a great rest before it.

Location: AZ : Northern Arizona : Flagstaff Crags : The Overlook : Angel's Delight (5.7+) By: Micah Kurtz When: Oct 7, 2012 | view comment >> |
Comments: Last weekend I was a visiting climber from Tucson and I accidentally left some webbing, cord, and 4 carabiners at the top of Angel's Delight. If you so happen to find it all, would you be so kind to mail them to me? My address is 2630 N Plumer Ave Tucson AZ 85719. Thank you!

Comments: I chose to climb the route that goes directly up from here and I thought it was fantastic. Its gets a little slabby and thin at one point but you can follow a crack that takes really small nuts very easily. I thought it was super fun. Just don't climb past the belay station, you can't see it until you are above it.

Comments: Where is the 10d pitch? I'd guess the second pitch but the route description assumes 5.9 Anyone have a better idea?

Comments: I think this may be a different start. I think the actual start is up the hill a little by those trees you can see in the photo. Traverse right when you get to the bolt.

Comments: Just got in this route 3/3/12 for my 7th trad lead. The traverse from the bolt was a little intimidating and it took me a while to figure out the moves but once I did it went pretty easy. I couldnt find any solid gear in the section past the bolt until the very end which is maybe a 10 ft run out. Great route!

Comments: This was my 8th trad lead and I found the traverse to be a little stressful. However, I'm not a very good slab climber. I think it is worth doing though.

Comments: I love this route. Although it is short I found it to be fairly sustainted. Its been about a year since I've climbed it but I remember the upper section to be more difficult then below the roof.
