Average Rating = 1.00/5 Hot summer day.

One of the earliest climbs I did. The view was awesome, you could see everything from the top.

Andria Ligas' Sunset Rappel

Average Rating = 3.57/5 Andria Ligas' Sunset Rappel

What a great day this was! Andria had just made her first trad lead of Hai Karate.

Never content to leave it at just that, Andria jumped onto the sharp end and led another pitch on the backside of the North Fin.

I captured this image just before sunset - gorgeous colours, eh?

It was a special day for us, but it's only now - after Andria is gone - that I realize just how special it really was. {sigh}

Andria Ligas on the North Fin Summit

Average Rating = 3.85/5 Andria Ligas on the North Fin Summit

Just a pretty profile photo of my pretty friend Andria, the day she made her first trad lead on the North Fin of Mount Lemmon.

I love this photo because she is wearing her beloved Andria Suit, as we called it.

{sigh} I miss her.....

In Memory of Andria Ligas - Hai Karate 1

Average Rating = 3.11/5 In Memory of Andria Ligas - Hai Karate 1

This is photo #1 of 5.

Andria takes the sharp end for this, her First Trad Lead.

The route is Hai Karate on North Fin of Mt. Lemmon. You can see that she's leading on double 9's, the Better Way of trad climbing.

As Tree Hoser belays, her Wall Doctor dangles from his jugs on a fixed rope and checks that her placements are good. I was like taking pictures too, eh?

If you're wondering why this photo is a little on the small side, I have used it as part of a series of photos that is found in this post which honours the life of Andria Ligas. You can find more photos on pages 4, 6, 8 and 10 of this post.

In Memory of Andria Ligas - Hai Karate 2

This day was particularly memorable for Andria and me. Here's what she had to say:

"Woo Hoo!!! I couldn't be more excited to be able to say that this was my very first gear lead. It was one of the best climbing experiences of my life! It was a perfect first lead. There were plenty of options for placements,but the climbing was not too easy that it was even remotely dull. The views are stunning!"

I can only begin to tell you of the joy we shared this day!

Andria was totally jonesed - she was pumped! She sent the route in good style.

Right here was the moment she looked up at me and exclaimed, "I'm having so much fun!"

You can see the joy on her face as she climbs. I was her Wall Doctor, and I couldn't have been prouder.

In Memory of Andria Ligas - Hai Karate 4

Average Rating = 3.33/5 In Memory of Andria Ligas - Hai Karate 4

This is photo #4 of 5. You can click here to return to photo 1.

After cruising through the crux, there is a little kicker at the end, in the form of this off-width. The fact that Andria had never climbed an off-width before didn't bother her too much.

In this photo, you can see that she is wearing her beloved Andria Suit. After Andria died, Hillary scarfed the outfit. Andria would have expected no less. I can't wait to see Hillary climb in it. No doubt it'll feel bittersweet. {sigh}

Cragchica tops out!

Afterwards I climbed another route nearby - sans etriers! - to take us to the summit. Then Andria and I rapped off the back, and she led us up a couple more.

What a great day!

And just look at Andria's smile! What a sweetie. I miss her. Lots.

Leading Hai Karate

Average Rating = 3.75/5 Leading Hai Karate

This is a great route. Not extremely technical or pumpy at 5.7+, but there are some great moves and some height.
