O.K. this is like a mini trip report from the last two days. Yesterday, I met up with Elma who was looking for a climbing partner on TOS. She is from Switzerland and was visiting family in Phoenix. I suggested we meet in Sedona.

.

Our first objective 'Dr. Rubo's Wild Ride' a classic Sedona moderate


Always a bit of yucca on a good Sedona climb.


Elma was a great sport and would put up with me pestering her to smile for the camera.




O.K.

so today we climbed another great Sedona climb 'Mars Attacks!'

The first pitch is cool friction


I stoked Elma up for leading the 2nd pitch traverse. A really great pitch!


She did fantastic...




Sedona can be very peaceful also



Ahhh where's a gud beer thread when you need one?
