Spread out at the top of pitch 2.

Will F. cruising the thin hands section in his sweet, desert modified helmet (+5 sun protection).

Sweet air looking down the overhanging last section.

Racking up for this stellar line!

Steep.

Natalie starting up the pitch 3 splitter. #1s for days!

Resting on the crux pitch.

Bryan jugging up the crux pitch, which we aided. Stellar splitter that keeps on going.

High on pitch 3

Enjoying the view....

Approach beta for Sentinel Spire (if you rap in).

Kat up on lead on the way to onsight of the thin hands crux of Medicine Man (5.12a).

Pitches 1, 2, 3 can be seen.

Dylpickle finding the cure.

Bolt at the roof exit of pitch 2. You could place a good cam to the right, but the bolt is there for a reason: it will help keep the rope from pinching as you continue upwards to the belay.

Sentinel Spire is the central spire in this image, with the top of that formation a bit lower than the canyon rim. Medicine Man works up the prominent crack and corner system.

Kat follows the final pitch of Medicine Man, the wide (easy) part!
