Craig Armstrong has the perfect mountain climbing partner – his lovely and devoted little black cat Millie. As soon as Craig adopted Millie from Furburbia, an animal shelter in Park City, Utah, they immediately bonded and eventually started going on adventurous climbing trips together.

“I go on a lot of weekend climbing adventures. I always figured when I have a pet friend, I’ll take her with me,” he said in his interview with Bored Panda. “It never seemed odd to me, just seems like something I’d do with my pet, take her places.”

The admirable climbing duo had to go through a lot of struggles and face many variances and sweet reconciliations before they came to this point. We invite you to go through these spectacular photos from their mountain trips and find out more about their story in the interview below that he gave to Bored Panda.
