I’ve been excitedly looking forward to writing this post all summer. For the most part, the events of the day are told best in photos. But I will give a bit of back-story.

About 2-1/2 years ago, I ‘met’  a guy that would become a great friend and climbing partner on the infamous rockclimbing.com.  We’ll call him Captain America (photos below).  A common interest in climbing connected us, but a friendship was inevitable.  Over those years, we chatted about life and families and all kinds of stuff that matters, oh and climbing/adventuring.  Captain America is definitely the pure Adventurer I wrote about in my first post.  We spoke of a few dates he’d been on and the ‘future prospects’, but it seemed no one could keep up with his Adventurous spirit.

Enter Ninja Hoodie (as we’ll call her).  They started off as friends, and I think that Captain America fought his feelings for a while.  But Ninja Hoodie proved she could not only keep up, but that she too was an Adventurer.  So the courtship commenced.

I was incredibly honored when Captain America let me in on his plan and asked me to be a part of it.  In the below story of photos, I will play the part of route selector and top-view hidden camera man.  Please enjoy and remember to always value your Relationships on the Rocks.
