!["I've learned that any dream worth dreaming is the dream with the uncertain outcome. If we knew we would be successful, if we knew it would be easy, if we knew it would be a certainty-filled challenge that was cozy and comfortable, without hardship and adversity, then what would be the point? This is how you induce transformation and growth. Conceive of the most outrageous dream, put it out there and activate your inner hero's journey. Where comfort zones are obliterated, extraordinary life experiences begin."

"When asked what the hardest part was [Spencer's] response was "Summit day", when asked what the best part was the response remained the same "Summit" with a summation of "Seriously Mom...its was the hardest, but the best thing I have ever done" Said with the biggest smile and obvious pride."
– Spencer's Mom
Spencer had the courage and commitment needed to see this challenge through to the end. That makes Spencer a certified badass!](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/14334582_1216115568431953_1700099418_n.jpg "\"I've learned that any dream worth dreaming is the dream with the uncertain outcome.

After climbing the 500'/150m headwall and summiting Youngs Peak (9245'/2815m) [twice this summer - the first week with an all girl team and the second week with an all dude team], we rigged a 400' rappel (two 60m ropes tied together) to get back down the headwall...

Here's Nick from Okotoks, Alberta, rapping off the edge. He'll have one stop on the way down while one of our guys gets him past the mid knot and then another 60m of fun to the bottom.
