One sunny day at South Mountain Adam and Kristin met on the trail to practice canyoneering skills. They setup Kristin's brand new rope and Adam began practicing ascending the rope. He used a piece of gear called a tiblock that has metal teeth to dig into the rope. Well some difficulty occurred and he almost cut her brand new rope. Of course he felt really bad and invited her to go canyoneering. So the canyoneering partnership grew after travelling all over Arizona hitting canyons and camping. The partnership changed one fateful day at an event called Freezefest (camping and canyoneering in Utah during winter conditions) on New Year's eve when Adam decided to kiss Kristin at midnight. Thus the partnership transformed from a bond of love of nature, adventure, and a whole lot of fun.
