Kyle and Kristie first spoke on June 25, 2015 as prospective rock climbing partners and friendly adventure-seekers. They met for the first time on July 3, 2015 at a street fair in Colfax, CA. They quickly discovered they had much more in common than just rock climbing and a love of the outdoors. Over the following 4 years were a series of events, adventures and challenges that turned 5 people into a family. ❤️
