    “How do you decide if a guy is someone you can actually rely on—not just a good dude, but someone you’d link up with in leadership?”
    “When have you seen someone’s true colors show up under pressure—good or bad?”
    “What’s something hard you’ve gone through with other guys that actually brought you closer?”

    Opening and we warmed up walking to bottom of hill.
