It's Rock Climbing Time!!!

I was SO SCARED right here. I was sweating and shaking so bad minutes before this pic was taken. I thought I was going to pass out from fear. That was until the athletes that were guiding us said that was completely normal. (at least that's what they told me) Probably lied to me but anyway, OFF I GO!


Almost there....to the starting point that is.


That's Me.

We have to get here before we can start climbing.


This a what I saw when I stepped out of the car. A frozen Lake? But it's the middle of June....Weird. Anyway time to get to Climbing, but first.....

OUTDOOR SUMMIT!!!!

Here are some pics from my recent team trip (Outdoor Summit) to Yosemite Valley.
First off, you're probably asking yourself, "what is an Outdoor Summit?" Well an Outdoor Summit is a work event where all the designers that work in the Outdoor/Hiking Category go out into the wilderness and do outdoor things with professional athletes as well as brainstorm about the upcoming design season. It's kind of like a team building / character building / nature exploring adventure.
This is my best Bubba from Forrest Gump Impression.
Actually, I was tired, hot, and really amazed at the size of the Yosemite Falls

For those that don't know, I work for The North Face, and that's where our company logo comes from.....Half Dome in Yosemite Valley

Another shot

The Coolest Suit EVER!!! Well next to an astronaut that is

I saw this suit on the first day at my job and two things went through my mind.
1. Holy crap that's the stuff people wear when they climb Mt. Everest.
2. I going to put it on if I ever get the chance.
Well, I got my chance. (I was burning up in that suit)
