Live From The Rock Wall


That person down there 30 ft. below me is my friend Ryo Suzuki, an international student from Japan and the best belayer on this side of I-80.

For those of you that have never rock-climbed, this is an incredibly (and incredibly under-estimated) form of exercise-- challenging both physically and mentally.

UNK's rock wall is located in the new wellness center facility and has created quite the buzz on campus. Several students have taken such an interest in this new hobby (and, added bonus, intense exercise) that they have created traveling rock climbing teams in which they attend competitions. UNK Outdoor Adventures has also been leading groups of students on some really cool trips. One of which was a spring break trip to Arizona where students had the chance to climb actual rocks. Cool.
