This was a great sponsored event by Westminster giving students not only the chance of climbing one of the best walls in Utah, but also the chance to meet and intermingle with climbing groups from other institutions around the state. It really looked fun! As a non-climber I still cannot avoid the mental image of a long fall and being caught by a harness. Even though you may have been saved I can only imagine how unnerved I would probably feel.
