ryanl Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Trip: Leavenworth - Givler's, Regular Route, Outer Space Date: 9/10/2010 Trip Report: Thought I'd post some pictures showing a side to Monika that not many people knew about. She was getting into climbing the last few years, and beginning to lead trad routes this past summer. Not surprisingly, she was a natural. And even less surprisingly, she was always smiling. Quote
genepires Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 when did index move to the icicle? SHe does have a nice smile. BUt you are weak for making her carry the pack. who is this Monika? Quote
Dave A. Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I don't know her but I believe that is Monika Johnson. She died this winter skiing near Snoqualmie Pass. Quote
ryanl Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 yeah, i might have got my photos mixed up. We did some stuff at Index as well. Nice eye.... As for the pack, trust me- I tried to take her pack but she wouldn't have anything to do it. I don't think it slowed her down much :-) And yes, it is the Monika Johnson who died on Red mountain this past February. Quote
AlpineK Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Monika would have kicked Ryan's ass if he suggested she shouldn't carry the pack while following a pitch. Quote
Kyle_Flick Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Good of you to show her the ropes to enjoy rock climbing. Glad you two got out together before she passed on. Quote
