Simul Climbing the Washboard!
Just Doug and I on the summit. An exciting day, but damn cold.

At the end of the FAT. Kats first alpine climb, first multi pitch, first 14r, first car to car, first time climbing with a pack, first big-time exposure, and one of her first days on the rock in general. A real trial by fire, and proudly sent clean, excepting the dirty words emitted.
