Just Go Up!

A little under two years ago I sat across from Chris at an interview.  Although she ended up asking me how old I was (an HR no-no) the interview went well and I ended up getting the opportunity to work with her for the past couple years and watch our friendship develop.  In a couple weeks, we are both moving on from Jack Link’s; Chris to Texas, while I go to Minnesota.  Taking as many chances as possible to hang out (literally), I took Chris rock climbing yesterday!  Paco, Mitch and Doug came too.  Of course I fell off the wall and scraped up my arm pretty badly right in front of them as they were getting their safety orientation.  But it was a fun group to be a part of when it came to trying to conquer different rock faces.

Go Chris Go!

Everyone had a good time, and we all climbed well.  There were a couple times when someone would pick a ridiculously hard rock face and we would spend an hour taking turns trying to get higher than 5 feet off the ground.  But everyone got to the top!  And Chris cranked out a couple V0s like a pro. 

This was one of the rock faces that seemed to stop us about 10 feet up.

Paco got to the top!

Doug conquered the yellow 5.10!

And I managed not to drop him!
