Slightly Stoopid aka Stupa Spire

Description

This slightly stoopid route was hard to pass up for how close it is to the trail head. Good for when you're in West Sedona and don't have a lot of time or for an after work romp. Start with grunting your way through the burly OW to chimney. Follow the path of least resistance up easy terrain and locate the bolt below the summit cap. Clip and and pull a wild mantel move to gain the top. Two bolts with chain anchor  

Location

The mini-spire (not actually a spire) can be seen from the beginning of the Thunder Mountain Trail Head. It will be on your right, below Chimney Rock, as you hike northwest. Take one of the many social trails and some slabs to the base. Total hike time from your car is about 5 minutes lol.

Protection

In order: #4, #6, .5, and a bolt
