Actually it started a few days earlier when Christine and Andrew connected on Hinge. Christine saw that Andrew said he was a regular at Stone Gardens Climbing Gym. Christine messaged Andrew, "I'm a regular at Stone Gardens Climbing Gym too!" "Would it be too weird if our first date was at the climbing gym?" Andrew asked. This was a little more forward than Christine was used to, but she was up for taking chances. "Sure, let's do it!" Luckily that chance paid off. They had a great time climbing together and were uniquely well-suited for each other, both in terms of climbing ability and interests. That climbing sesh turned into drinks at the local dive bar where they quickly started planning other hangouts. Within a month, they had gone hiking, camped and stargazed in Olympic National Forest, rock climbed at the local crags, and sailed in Puget Sound. They haven't stopped adventuring with one another since.
