Narrative:
During the climb segment of an IFR flight; the cabin suddenly loss of pressure from FL340. I initiated an emergency descent to 10;000 ft simultaneously notifying ATC of the situation. The oxygen masked were donned immediately and worn until 10;000 ft. The remaining portions of the flight were continued without incident. The landing was uneventful at the destination airport.
