Memories
Memories From First Climb
What I remember most about my first AdAmAn climb is how friendly everyone was. Obviously I didn't know too many of the climbers but everyone seemed to take a real interest in me as a person and a climber. It made it an easy decision to apply to climb in subsequent years because it's such a fun and friendly group.
Memories From First Member Year
A few memories from my New Member Year are: * I was hoping for a really big snow year so that it would be an epic memorable year. It turned out to be warm with very little snow. * Everyone on the climb finished the climb together as a group that year. * Shooting the fireworks was really fun!
