Beautiful panoramic shot highlights the west side of Sugarloaf as I start up the stellar Express. Yee ha! <br> <br> Photo by Laine<br> <br> April 2009
Shot of pitch 2 from the 1st belay station. Kara is about to pull the "5.9 bulge" move.
Never crack climbed before and this was a perfect pitch to start on. Layback sections are super fun and not too long for beginners.
Working up the P1 lieback of Pony Express
loose flake. wehn she climbed it seemed as just the upper part of the flake was loose. when i climbed it seemed like it could be the entire flake.
