Sugarloaf

My son and I went to another old climbing area in the Sierras. It's Sugarloaf, located near the town of Kyburtz. We didn't bring gear and instead opted to climb to the top of the mountain. It was hard work - very steep and at least 1000 or more vertical feet. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. The decent was a little dicey at points, but we got down safely. I forgot just how hard a steep decent loads your quadriceps and my legs were basically rubber by the time we got down. The rock is just beautiful California granite and there was almost no one around. I was so hungry to climb it. However, we still haven't figured out how my son can belay me safely, so we are pretty limited. Still, getting to the peak was great.

All in all, it was fantastic.
