I'm low-key impressed by this couple's relationship, you feel? I mean, an age gap of over 20 years is crazy, but Allie and Mikel make it work. Their bond is real, and it's amazing to see how they support each other on these crazy mountain adventures. The fact that they found common ground in climbing and exploration is a major part of their relationship, and I'm here for that. It's not just about the mountains, though - it's about the love they share with each other.
I love how they've made "me" time for each other, too. They prioritize their relationship over individual goals, which is so refreshing in today's fast-paced world. Their saying, "I love me, you love you, we love each other, and we both love the mountain," is literally the most beautiful thing I've read all week.
It's also dope that they're an inspiration to others. Climbing 8,000-metre peaks without supplemental oxygen? That's no joke! They're proof that with dedication and love, anything is possible.
