Crummy weather in Flag sent me down the Sedona way. Climbing this route took longer than expected as I assumed I was more familiar with it than I actually was. I guess doing a route once and knowing it like the back of your hand are do completely different things! It did seem like the route had less up-climbing and more exposure than I remember from last time. Anyhow, the front passing through brought it beautiful cumulus clouds and stunning light for the already spectacular views.
