Three friends and I are planning to climb the North Ridge of Mount Blackburn in the last two weeks of June. One of my climbing partners was just told by a friend, who is a guide on Denali, that that the North Ridge is a big sandbag and that it is significantly harder than the West Butt. Apparently he made a failed attempt on the route and had quite the epic. We understand that this will be a late season ascent and things will be quite broken up. Does anyone have any more info they could lend me. Thanks

Thanx for the beta.

Is anyone familiar with any routes in Sedona, Arizona? There is an abundance of beautiful red rock crags there. I've heard the climbing is of poor quality, but was hoping that someone could inform me otherwise.
