My friend Peter invited me to his pre conference ‘Geeks go Peaks’ event, and I immediately accepted because he loves adventure, and his events are never dull. I am complete out of shape and didn’t know anyone going, but I knew it would be fun. In keeping with Peter’s roots in the open source software community, the group was welcoming and cheered me on to try new things. I made some new friends, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this group will grow community and explore opportunities for connection and adventure.

I had a fantastic time at the Geeks go Ninja! It was a good balance between teamwork and individual challenges to complete various gymnastic exercises. I was challenged to test my balance, muscle strength, and running on vertical surfaces to reach the top of the structure. We had fun, supported each other, and collaborated to find the best approach to completing the tasks. I believe this could be a great training for trekking and hiking!

I've been honing my skills at this incredible climbing gym for about three years now. With constantly evolving programs and a focus on targeting different muscle groups, I feel like a total ninja or sports monkey :) It's a challenging yet exhilarating experience that's become a constant source of motivation for me.
