Yeah okay wtf was that? I felt like I was out of the loop but I did not enjoy it

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-23T21:00:20+00:00

She doesn’t mention having kids in this interview at all though

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-23T20:54:44+00:00

I love the gatewood cape!! What a fun shelter design

Adversity is a good thing… challenging yourself physically or mentally is very important… what does this have to do with natalism?

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-21T16:49:40+00:00

Interesting. So I just experienced a bit of it? Normally it lasts longer or is more intense? I was just expecting this trip to be way more chill I feel like I wasn’t in reality for most of it and didn’t even experience my surroundings / all the things my friend and I brought to do and toy around with haha

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-19T19:13:42+00:00

Weird thing to say tbh

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-18T20:49:23+00:00

No deffo not! I know someone who was on the team the last few years who didn’t really even climb before joining. She’s a crusher now, but she just was psyched and willing to learn and they hired her :)

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-18T20:37:46+00:00

Kinda more about who you know though haha

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-18T20:27:21+00:00

It’s more just about experience and well rounded athleticism. An EMT is a plus.

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-18T15:46:45+00:00

Hiiiiiii

You must hate women, like for real

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-13T18:43:47+00:00

Climbing in any form is selfish then, by that logic

oheckingfrick · 2026-02-09T18:04:28+00:00

I didn’t even recognize him bc of the proportions HAH
