It is 2016
Nick and Carlijn meet at the entrance to the climbing forest. Exciting such a date and then also the height at the climbing forest. Nick came by car and Carlijn could go by bike.
After a somewhat awkward introduction to each other, they are taken for instruction. Put on the climbing harness, listen to the explanation and then go down the demo course.
And then? Yes, where do you start?
Still, just an orange route to get in. Up the first ladder and chat in the meantime. The challenge now is not only in the climbing itself, but also in getting to know each other and presenting yourself as well as possible for the others. After all, you want to make a good impression. Nick is actually not very fond of heights, but does not let himself be known and overcomes a huge amount during this date!
Both Nick and Carlijn feel a click and climb some more routes. After about three hours of climbing, it's enough. They have both challenged themselves (some parts are really high) and got to know each other better. After a drink, the date is over and each goes their own way home. For both of them, it tastes like more!
The story doesn't stop here. It is now 2022 and Nick and Carlijn have been married for a while and have 2 beautiful kids. A fairytale that started in the Klimbos!
