Upper Beach

The Upper Beach is a winter time getaway which faces pretty much due south. Located on the high tannish band of stone above the Chapel of the Cross, this crag has a handful of clever routes both trad and sport. The rock is very good for Sedona and sports ripple crimps, bomber huecos, deep pockets, and crisp cracks at angles that will surprise you.

Needless to say the views are expansive, though the Chapel and the adjacent neighborhood take off a few points for sure. All in all a fun place to soak up the sun, and have some fun.
