Ascent Trip Report

This was the only climb that Cathy has done with me, and therefore it is one of my favorite. Cathy got badly sunburned and I had to push her up the upper part of the mountain. We both had been living in Texas for 6 years prior to this time, so we weren't in the best of condition for high altitude climbs.
