Coincidentally, the Climbing Club at U of R has also been one of the fastest growing club sports as of late, essentially going from non-existent during COVID to approaching 300 members today. Undoubtedly, climbing at U of R would be even more popular if there was a wall on campus, making it easier to participate in.<\/p>\n<p>There are two climbing gyms in Rochester: Central Rock Gym and RocVentures. Both gyms are accessible via bus and a short walk, but traveling to and from the gyms back to campus can take over an hour round trip. Putting a climbing gym on campus would make it much more accessible for both beginner climbers to try out the sport as well as experienced climbers be able to do their sport while managing time consuming schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Climbing gyms on college and university campuses are increasingly becoming a norm across the country, such as the Red Barn at RIT and the Lindseth Climbing Center at Cornell. The University of Rochester should follow suit and build a climbing wall on campus to both improve life outside of academics as well as to make it easier for U of R students to go climbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor rock climbing is rapidly increasing in popularity in the United States.
