OUR STORY
WE MEET
Blake booked a Henna appointment, to apply over a recent scar on my arm from a major climbing injury. As Rachel applied art to my wrist and arm, we talked for a couple hours about life and climbing and in the end, we had talked ourselves into setting up a twice weekly training schedule in Cinci.
REAL FRIENDS
Over the next few months of gym climbing and training for climbing, they became close friends.
CLIMBING/TRAVEL/DATING
Rachel soon made Blake get his passport, and they started traveling. For the next few years only reaching into Mexico and Canada, But that limitation would soon diminish and they would add Europe into the mix. Climbing destinations were the focus of travel, but the sole purpose of travel, as they simply loved being with each other in beautiful places.
HE PROPOSED
After a memerable, multi-pitch climb in Hueco Tanks, Blake bent a knee and asked Rachel to spent even more time with him. Accompanied by a very successful photographer, I kinda assumed she would capured the moment in time, little did I know she didnt even bring her phone/camera.
AND NOW... WE ARE GETTING MARRIED
