We are very excited over at GoGirl to continue to share our GoGirl Story Series. We are calling for all you lovely ladies to share your GoGirl stories with us: times when you needed us, thought of us, or used us. Email us at promo@go-girl.com to participate. We will post a new story each week or so and if we use your story we will send you a free GoGirl and GoGirl T-Shirt.
Enjoy Amy's GoGirl Story:
I received my Go-Girl in the mail yesterday. I’ve already given it a “go” at home and found it to be very user friendly! My cousin’s wife picked one up for herself at the Minnesota State Fair and shared her clever purchase on Facebook. Of course, I immediately posted that I was seriously going to have to invest in one for myself, as I am an avid climber and spend many weekends in the great outdoors; either hanging at the base of a local crag, or hanging on the side of the rock, often for hours at a time. Her next post was fantastic news that one was in the mail on the way to me…she and my cousin felt I should have one…yes!!!
Last summer I climbed the east buttress of Mt. Whitney, and the Go-Girl would have been my perfect climbing companion. The most difficult part of the entire climb was figuring out how to pee on a small ledge. Unfortunately I put off going to the bathroom while I was on a bigger ledge, figuring I could go at the next belay. I was unpleasantly surprised when I was met with a considerably smaller ledge and waiting was no longer an option. My husband had to do everything for me (except pee) while I anchored in and clung to the wall. Can I just say it was no small feat! Thank goodness for wicking material, as it was impossible to avoid my pants and shoes! A Go-Girl would have made such a huge difference in that experience!
My husband and I are planning to climb this weekend, so I can hardly wait to use my Go-Girl on our multi-pitch climb. My “holding it until I get to the top” days are over!!!
We will have to go with you on your next climbing adventure Amy! Be on the look out for a GoGirl T-shirt and GoGirl in your mail soon :)
