This near perfect hanging corner sits far back in Boynton Canyon. It’s further than most would want to hike for a single pitch, but so worth it. Face climb to a bolt, make some big moves between jugs to a .75 pod, then blast off into the lay back, starting as tips, then widening to off-fingers and back down to tips before a wild boulder problem guarding the chains. There’s a bolt in a bad spot in the boulder problem, clip it or don't, it's a clean fall either way. The first pitch of "Legends Never Die" is a great warm up.

Legends Never Die

Legends never die follows a clean and adventurous crack system, with splitters and multiple roofs, up a large wall deep in Boyton canyon, to a big ledge 3/4 of the way up the wall where the route ends with an incredible view of Sedona rarely seen. 

  p1. Splitter in a corner on perfect rock to a park bench ledge belay. 5.10      p2. Bust some moves off the ledge to gain the thin crack once at the roof clip a bolt and traverse far left, follow the dihedral to a hanging belay below the next roof. 5.10+ (loose rock near the end)   p3. Exciting! clip a bolt pull the roof climb the splitter until it runs out then traverse right to the next crack. then up to to belay on a small chock stone ledge. 5.10+   p4. Pull out the big guys. Climb the dihedral to the roof, pull the roof in to a tight squeeze chimney, grunt your way up the squeeze protecting deep in the back to a hanging belay. 5.10+    p5. climb up to the the large pod and stem out of the roof, follow broken cracks to the top. 5.10- ( A lot of choss on this pitch to remind you, you never left Sedona)  

  Descent: Rap to the top of p4, then with 2 60m ropes rap to the p1 anchor then to the ground.
