| no partners | | Took one of my employees (Kaitlyn) and a customer (Elaine) out to hike the Flatiron. It was a nice morning and on the way in we saw a bunch of base jumpers. Kaitlyn pressed up the Mountain with out much trouble. Elaine was having second thoughts about tagging along shortly after Siphon Draw. Then something kicked in and Elaine came to life and she was back in the saddle. This was the first trip up for both girls and they loved sitting on the edge of the Flatiron. After a nice break I convinced them to go up to 5024. Both seemed to enjoy this as well.
On the way down as we were leaving I suggested to Kaitlyn that she should climb that little spire with me. Not knowing what she was getting herself into she agreed. A little assistance and before long she was on top of the thing. Considering she doesn't really hike and definitely doesn't climb I found this to be pretty impressive.
Once down the poor thing had a look of shock on her face. Ten minutes later she was all smiles and could only talk about how hungry she was.
Good times! |
