From my parking spot, a view across the very low Rio Grande River. Robledo Mountain seen left, Lookout Peak on the right.

Close-up toward Leasburg Slot (center) and Robledo Mountain (top left) after crossing the river.

Entering Leasburg Slot.

The narrows are comprised of very pretty conglomerate.









One of many bends in the slot.



After exiting Leasburg Slot's narrows, I headed up to its southeastern rim on an animal trail and started ascending to Robledo Mountain, seen ahead.

Robledo Mountain ahead. I continued up the slope on the left to reach the ridge on the left in this photo.

Along the pleasant slope to the south ridge of Robledo Mountain.

Avoidable Class 2+ move as I ascend to the south slope.

View back, Leasburg slot on the right, Lookout Peak top left, my car somewhere far right.

Approaching the Class 2 bit to gain the south ridge.

View back down the slope I ascended after gaining the south ridge.

Along Robledo Mountain's south ridge, headed to the summit.

Class 3 section, fun and solid. It's likely avoidable on the left by wrapping around.

Robledo Mountain summit, view toward the Organ Mountains.

Starting down from Robledo Mountain. I just followed the obvious ridgeline to get over to Lookout Peak ahead.

Class 3 on the way down from Robledo Mountain.

View up the fun Class 3 blocks as I near the base of Robledo Mountain.

View back toward Robledo Mountain as I continue north toward Lookout Peak.

Lookout Peak ahead. A road leads about halfway up on the right.

Approaching Lookout Peak.

The next few photos are of my mess-up descent. Some may find it perfectly fine, but I wasn't in the mood for it today. I recommend just using the line I outlined in my attached map (purple) for a better descent option.

Pretty narrows along my initial descent, the mess-up (green line).

Silly descent, a shot of an avoidable dryfall.

Mishap descent at the awkward-looking drop that I decided to bail on in order to find a less dangerous alternative. It's probably not that bad, but my head wasn't feeling it.

Another mishap on my descent attempt, this one down the canyon just northwest of Leasburg Slot Canyon. Class 4 on potentially brittle conglomerate. No thanks.
