Ruper start

Final obstacle on P2.

Upper Ramp rappel route. To descend from Upper Ruper, do the 100' Chockstone Chimney rappel to the Upper Ramp. From the base of Chockstone Chimney, scramble up a short slab and down the other side to a bolted rappel anchor by the tree shown in the photo. <em>Note: tree is now gone.</em> A 60' rappel takes you to a stance with bolts and chains. An 80' rappel takes you to Vertigo Ledge. Follow Vertigo Ledge uphill until it meets the West Face trail.

The fifth pitch of beautiful upper Ruper; October 13, 2002.

The beginning of the upper wall, prime setting, prime climbing.

Tamara completing the p3 traverse.

A climber working up the Rover Crack variation (photo from the base of the route).

The 6th pitch traverse showing sufficient protection opportunities. While the Ruper Traverse on P3 may feel more exposed, I personally find this traverse to be a bit more spicy on account of the poor rock quality. However, more than enough protection opportunities exist; just look around!

Easy climbing.

Ron Olsen at the crux on the last pitch of upper Ruper. The loose pin is at his feet; the solid pin is at his waist.

On P4...very sketchy and very nervous.

Unknown climber midway up pitch 5 (2nd pitch above the Upper Ramp).

Unknown climbers on the 5th and 6th pitch. One party is on the top/6th pitch. The leader of another part is most of the way up the 5th pitch.
