How did you get involved with The Mountaineers?
I had just moved back home after finishing school and needed to make some local friends so I gave scrambling a try.

Probably standing on top of Mount Olympus with a great group and seeing all the ice that looked like frozen waves.

Mostly the people around me that are just great people and climbers.

What's your 11th Essential? My fanny pack that holds all my food so I remember to eat during the day. Looks nerdy but very practical!
