First ascent, first climb

At Mike's Backyard. The neighbor's daughter liked the crazy antics going on when Mike moved in. She begged to do a real rock climb, so here we go! Crystal following the first ascent of The Ladies Route, 5.6. Mike was right beside her: and a good thing too. She cried and yelled and screamed, but got up it. Photo by Rotten.
