Arm organized a training session on Cannon Mountain for us to practice the z-pulley setup before our big trip to WY. It was a beautiful sunny day on the ski slope. After the z-pulley practice, we went up to the summit and used the tower to practice Texas Haul. After all day of fun in the sun, we head to Mountain House and spent the night.

The next morning, after a whole morning of lounging around, un-motivated for anything. We finally get our arses off the couch and headed to Sugarloaf. We spent time laying on the summit of Middle sugarloaf, once again, nobody felt like moving anywhere any time soon. The views from the summit of Middle Sugarloaf is just beautiful. Finally around 3 ish, Kim and I decided to head down and drove the long distance home. Nice weekend to lounge around with friends in the mountain.

First anchor.
