Sedona's Scenic Cruise, 5.9

1st Pitch- 140m- 5.9/This first pitch is part of what makes this route a classic to be sure. Start up an easy corner for the grade. Eventually it turns into a cleaner hand crack. When it widens and takes off left above (stuck C4 #4- 2012), make a few dramatic moves for the grade to mantel up through the large crack on small face features with perhaps a chicken wing or knee jam employed. Small and/or large gear can protect this route crux. Traverse left into another crack and finish to the top where there is a fixed belay. The last rap is actually composed of some chains you can see off to the right. Move the belay via 4th class ground between where you are and to a tree that is above those chains for the next pitch.
