This is as close as I came to hiking up that mountain.
If somebody suggested I go on a hike for fun, I’d probably punch him in the face. Since when is walking fun? To me, calling a hike a summer associate “event” is like calling the Bataan Death March a hike.
Obviously, I don’t work at Quinn Emanuel. Quinn has been running a hiking event for summer associates for years, and it’s one of the most popular events in all of Biglaw.
It’s unique. People have a good time — well, maybe not everyone, but most people.
And if somebody needs to be helicoptered out, well, that just strengthens the bonding experience for the survivors….
