While I'm on Rubicon everyone else is screwing around playing with photos.

Tia Stark leading Rubicon from the (in?)direct start - Miramontes Photography. This start was .11 R, and had some great bouldery moves on coarse but good rock. I'd go 3 out of 5 stars for this high-quality headpoint start, and 5 for the entire route.

Almost to the top!

One more move, and the redpoint is bagged! Ropedrag at the top was not significant (but I should point out the rope was a dry-coated and almost-new 10.5mm). Note the pro & slings on the approach hand-crack are arranged to try to optimize the drag vs protection trade-off.<br>

Fish at the business section!

Here's a good example of protecting the traverse. This system had almost no rope drag. There was a piece between the first and second, but it was pulled after the 2nd piece was placed.

An arrangement of protection that produces little - if any significant - rope drag, yet still affords some protection and allows the route to be done as a single pitch.
