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.

Austin busting out a pitch 1 and 2 link up.

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

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

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

Looking up Pitch 2.

Starting off Pitch 3.

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

Rap anchor at the north end of the summit.

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

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

Starting up pitch 4 en route to the top. January 2013.

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

Eric Peterson leading P1

view from the top.. it was a wild ride for sure.. get out there and climb this!<br>

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