First Trad lead
This photo isn't documenting my first trad lead, yet this route back in 1996 was my first trad lead. I think I place a piece of gear every foot or two. A little different that what you see in the picture. Growing up in Idaho Falls and road tripping to the City was the best childhood anyone could ask for. I remember Milton and Rusty climbing this route over spring break in 1996. The daytime high was like 25 degrees. It was the only route we did that trip.
Good times.
