Plan Z: Anvil Boulders – Sedona

After not climbing outside for quite awhile we formulated a plan. It all started with Plan A and then a few revisions followed:

Plan A – Joshua Tree
Plan B – Priest Draw (once we found out our El Paso friends were going to be spending a week there)
Plan C – Hueco (once we found out our El Paso friends were not going to Flag)
Plan D – Something other than Hueco (reservations for Hueco were not available), Priest Draw?
Plan E – Priest Draw again
Plan F – Not Priest Draw (weather looked bad), Cochise Stronghold (for bouldering!)
Plan G – Hairpin Boulders (5 mins from home)

Okay, so Plan G worked out for last Friday but what about Saturday/Sunday?

Plan H………….Z – Variations of the previous plans over and over while talking with various friends and looking at the weather.

Plan Z – The Anvil Boulders outside Sedona! Of course. We’ve never been there before so why not?

It turned out to be a great decision. A big thanks goes out to our friend Gina for helping in the decision making process. I think she was involved from Plan A.
