See if I can add something tonight.
Dave B. and I went up to west elden the other day. Had heard some pretty old school names associated with this place. Not alot of trip reports out of me but I'm keeping the faith getting out a good bit. Only three pictures taken that day. Here's one to keep this forum on topic. I'm gonna see if I can add some more as I go.......
cheers to our friends who broght this good idea to Winslow.

No, it was the first time I used those gizmos, and I was glad to have them! Rigid stems. That's how it got its name. And Steelmnkey, nice wired stopper pro-ing the first pitch?

The Dawn of the Gizmos!!! That's right!
Nothing "critically easy" (as Robbins once said about Friends) on that one! LOL

Those pictures of the 'book of friends' look so good. Shamefully I have not done this route....after riding up and down oak crek canyon for years.
Hit list .... check.

Book of Friends is rad!!
On the second pitch, DL got his foot stuck and I had to climb up from the belay, untie his shoe and wrassle everything loose. Classic Sedona shennanigans.
Then we topped out in a raging thunderstorm. No rap anchors then (now?), we ended up doing this major canyoneering descent, rapping off logs wedged between walls and what not. Took longer to get off than to do the climb!

That "canyon" you descended down is now a sport climbing area called "The Doctor's Office", with 40 routes - mostly 5.11 and harder.
