Ended this little saga yesterday.
Never really thought of it as a project- it's not that hard.
The hard part was finding belayers!
Bolted it a year ago- never tried it.
1st try in April- one quick hang.
2nd try in June- lobbed off at the anchors. Zero f ucks.
Yesterday- had a partner, wasn't even going to bother with it.
Let this kid give it a go. Figured if he onsighted it I'd tell him is was the first proper send, and congrats.
He blew it so I got on and crushed it!

I think I remember that just the topwas a detached boulder and that the webbing was below the loose part? does the whole thing move now?

Not sure.... There is a moment, when I lower people down the party ledge through the top anchors, that I warn them about rope stretch, and they always experience it. Thing I sim not sure if it's rope stretch or that the whole tower gives, a little.... 😎.....
Part of yesterday's adventure

*The Mace mini tr*
Had the opportunity climb with my friend Jeremy Ross for a day in Sedona.
I'm claiming it was my 11th time but I honestly have no idea.
I've greenpointed it a bunch of times.
In case you didn't know:
The Mace was first climbed in the 1950s by Yosemite legends Kamps, Rearick, and Herbert, among the best climbers in the world at the time. Being a Sunday, Robbins chose to go to church instead.
They rated it at the upper end of the difficulty scale at 5.9+.
Times and gear have changed but The Mace has retained its character- physical full-body crack and chimney climbing, accentuated with a few incredibly airy face moves.
Another fun and rewarding day with my friend Jeremy.
Thanks for squinting.

Finished up the FA of route #119 of mine in the Sinks (sport, sorry)---Celine's Cat (8) and the second ascent of my route, Ice Cream for Crow (10b, both on the new and secret cliff in the Sinks. Yes, secrets still exist up there, usually only pursued by insane locals who revel in being coated in the dirt and drill dust of cleaning.
Anyone know the name of Celine's cat? The most famous cat in literature. Oh, that is, Louis-Ferdinand Celine, not Celine Dion.
