Ascent Notes for: Dr. Rubo's Wild Ride - 5.9 popular Average Rating : 4.62/5

With Brooke from Boston. Led all the pitches, first two of which were truly stellar. Deserving of inclusion in the triple crown of Sedona. The way we rapped it was climbers left a full 200'. Maybe 40 yrd walk back to base of route. The other side of notch is a shorter rap with a little longer walk back. Afterwards, snuck in behind it to do Santa's Chimney...which is crappy rock, but in an incredible setting. Can't really recommend that one though.

awesome climb, just remember your extenders for the second pitch roof!

Fun route with good rock. I found the face climbing following the second pitch handcrack to be the crux and most heady section. The summit pitch is classic with the mantle in the sky.

seemed more 'hand crack in the back of an offwidth/ squeeze chimney', than it was 'hand crack'. still an amazing route and very fun....and sandbagged!

Great climb, second time up. Led the 2nd and 4th pitch. the splitter hand crack on the second is amazing.

All except the third belay are bolted, which kind of threw us off as all the belays could easily have been on gear.

The approach was pretty straightforward and the climbing was a lot of fun.

Dr. Rubos can now be done with one 60m rope.
From the summit rap 100 feet (30 meters) to a
large ledge with a two bolt chain anchor, then
rap 70 feet to notch between spire and wall.
