Amy Sends!!!

It's Amy's Birthday today and as gift to herself she went for the East ridge of Lone Pine Peak solo. This finishes her Quest of all three ridges solo on Lone Pine Peak... Not bad I say!
Over the last Year in half she has bagged this colossal Mountain from all sides to only finish with a 3 mile ridge line by herself.

BOOM!!

Nothin' like climbing on to a Giants Shoulders from the Desert floor.



Happy Birthday Darlin'
