Coming up to the first belay stance.

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

Kam gets a nice fist jam while linking the first 2 pitches of Dr. Rubo's Wild Ride in Sedona, AZ.

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.
