Climbing Into MSU

By Ellie Perak and Merry Shukert

Rock climbing is a sport that many people enjoy. Metropolitan State University of Denver Recreation Center offers its students a rock wall.  

Jared Current, a Junior at MSU works at the center and climbs the rock wall at least once everyday. Current has been working at the MSU rock wall for a couple of years. In his free time he also likes to climb at other indoor gyms and outdoors at rocks, boulders, mountains, and a climbing place called Movement.

Katie Wolf works at the gym front desk. Wolf is a senior at MSU and she mostly only climbs at this college. She has been working here seen February. When she works, she mostly just supervises, rather than helping out on the rock wall. Also, when she climbs, she usually does not use the ropes.

Jazmin Serrano is a student at MSU. She has worked here for one year. Serrano never climbs on this rock wall, and always stays at the front desk. According to Serrano, 12 people come into the rock climbing area daily.

All in all, Current, Wolf, and Serrano have taught us a lot of new things about rock climbing and the MSU rock wall. Lots of people everywhere like to rock climb, and we hope that this article helped all of you to learn more about the rock climbing sport in general and the MSU rock wall.
