Mr. Startup of You – thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera from Stratus here.

I’m impressed with your commitment to rock climbing! I did some climbing back in the day and loved it for both the physical exercise, teamwork and problem solving aspects – thinking ahead for the next hold or foot placement.

Wishing you all the best on your application journey.
