Hey Vanessa —
I got back from climbing the Grand (again) yesterday and this wacky thing happened to me and for some reason I feel inclined to tell it to you. IN BRIEF — the climb was full of wind, snow, rain, sun on summit ... fully adventuresome. I took up Brian Iguchi and Lilly — Sam's (Teton Thai) sister whose married to Brian ... We come off the rappell, which you may or may not know the final free hanging rappell REQUIRES two ropes. So we're just about to leave and I see this guy throw the rope down that stops in the middle of the overhang. Bad news. So I shout out to him ... he's freaking out. So I get another rope up to him and he, and his 16 year old son, make it down in the midst of raging storm. It turns out (he is a heli guide operator). He proceeds to thank me over and over and give me a free Heli-Skiing day in ALaska. Wacky, eh?
What's more is that my intention I set for that day and the meaning of this particular climb for me was on giving — and how I can be more receptive and aware of opportunities to give in random situations. Then this happens ... sweet ... Don't you love the power of intention and paying attention to serendipitous occurences?

Power of intention
Comment on this Post Tim Walther of Jackson Hole emailed SheJumps co-founder, Vanessa Pierce, to tell a story that we could all learn from – the power of intention.
