A morning ridge scramble with @megan_dingman was a highlight of my week. Climbing a mountain with someone is an intimate, shared experience. Not everyone has compatible chemistry, but when you meet your people, you know it. I first met Megan many years ago when I was a ski coach. She was probably 8 years old, with the determination and grit of someone far older. This summer, we had a chance to reconnect and get out into the mountains. Megan is an adult now and I’m stoked to see she still has the same tenacity, resiliency and strength of character she had when she was a little girl. It’s not everyday you find someone who understands you. When you do, cherish that time together.
