The initial Hinge back and forth convinced each of us that the other seemed normal enough. Both of us tended to get excited about coming across a profile that included climbing photos, and Derek is the type that appreciates a good 2-for-1 bargain. We met on March 6th, 2020, and quickly settled into comparing all of our trips and adventures planned for the year… Awhile passed before we got the opportunity to climb and adventure together, but we fell deeply in love amidst the chaos of a global pandemic. That first big trip together rock climbing and canyoneering in sunny slick rock country sealed the deal. We both knew in our hearts that this partnership was forever. Two years later we are thrilled about all of the great adventures ahead, and Derek and Guapito are officially inseparable :)
