Many students who have been searching for a fitness activity and have not engaged fully with the mainstream sports come to find that this is a perfect fit for their personalities. Rock climbing is a focused, yet free spirited activity, that allows students to explore body movements unlike other sports - with an adrenaline rush that keeps them feeling adventurous.
