Favorite memory of RMR: My favorite memories are when Ian Murray got a flat tire on the way to Columbia Icefields and that ended up with some hitch hiking and pumping up the car tire with a bike pump. All the young guns great dinner conversations and meeting all the sweet people who are on this team. There are a lot of memories considering I’ve only been a part of RMR for less than 1 year.
