Enjoy,Mike Esparza

O.K. this is like a mini trip report from the last two days. Yesterday, I met up with Elma who was looking for a climbing partner on TOS. She is from Switzerland and was visiting family in Phoenix. I suggested we meet in Sedona.
.
Our first objective 'Dr. Rubo's Wild Ride' a classic Sedona moderate
Always a bit of yucca on a good Sedona climb.
Elma was a great sport and would put up with me pestering her to smile for the camera.
O.K.
so today we climbed another great Sedona climb 'Mars Attacks!'
The first pitch is cool friction
I stoked Elma up for leading the 2nd pitch traverse. A really great pitch!
She did fantastic...
Sedona can be very peaceful also
Ahhh where's a gud beer thread when you need one?

3rd pitch of "luca and the fishes" 5.9x A.2+, east face babo first ascent fall 1989 (so this is post glass legs) yours leading, waugh at the 4 hour belay (only 66' off deck). You can see how weird the rock type is- I always compared it to french bread. A hook here, a head there, a pin there, couple hooks, a bashie in an eye socket...not straight forward at all.

Shitty shot, great route: First free ascent, Coatamundi Whiteout, Granite Mountain (1978??)
We did another route there called Gunsmoke that was quite a pumper on Hexes. No shots, unfortunately.
