Me looking forward to a great adventure on Dr. Rubo's. I was lucky enough to have Scott Baxter loan me his hand jammies so I could lead the 2nd pitch solidly.

Claire R. executing the overhanging rap off the summit of Dr. rubos, hanging from the new rap staion. Thanks, much better as a single rope route!

Sosa - The top-out after leading the whole route. Best Views of Sedona are on top of the spires.

just after the crux of Pitch 1 (5.8+.. but stout for the grade) Fun Climb!

Awesome Summit

Coming up to the first belay stance.

Right after the traverse on pitch 3. Some really good no-hands foot matches on this part :)

Rappel chains. Looks like a loose hanger and two pitons. Not sure why the bolts were chopped?

Braxton climbing P1, fortunately we had a full moon, unfortunately no #2 camalots

Starting the p3 traverse

Emmett on the giant ledge before the summit pitch

Mantel move on pitch 4, as someone who's 4.11, I could *maybe* reach the bolt on tippy-toes if leading but not easily. Chalked mark on climbers left was my partners first hold

Belay bolts on the top of the second pitch. Kind of a weird positioning for the belayer.

A hiker snapped a great photo of us from afar.

Rappelling into the notch. Two rappels with a single 60.

Rap anchor at the north end of the summit.

A few pounded pitons protect the start of Pitch 3. I wouldn't want to fall on them, but they give mental support.

Just after the lil boulder problem on the final pitch

Topping out, last pitch

Looking down at the second pitch belay stance, pretty comfy.
