I wasn't a very good climber at the time and used three pitons of aid on the first 30 feet. Because it had action sections separated by good rest spots I called it Pony Express. It had probably been done long before by 60's climbers. When Gene put together guidebook material he used the "Pony Express" name I suggested for it.
