The Trough is my go to route for introducing non or new climbers to multi-pitch climbing. Here is Ale Yolo approaching the ledge atop the second pitch while her brother belays her. This was his first time experiencing this style of climbing. He was frightened and anxious but never gave up. We topped out with the sunset.

Got a couple of nephews and a niece out into the backcountry of San Jacinto. An overnight backpack, a little climbing, and two sunset summits. It wasn’t so scorching hot above 10,000 feet.

Yesterday was the first day of Spring and our 15 year anniversary. Our wedding was canceled last year and we got tired of waiting, so we had a few vaccinated folks come over and held a livestream wedding on YouTube. So, @hgkittykat and I are finally hitched. Thanks for all of the well wishes and to everyone that tuned in with very little forewarning. When is the honeymoon?!
________________
P.S. there will be a small ceremony with great photographs by @swellandstone later in the year. TBD.
