KU rock climbing club not for the faint of heart
By Lindsey Henry Kansan correspondent
A 40-foot tall, brown-, white- and blue-splotched giant stands before Matt Keel on the second floor of Robinson Center. Concentrating and determined, Keel steps closer, finds a place to position his right foot, grabs onto the giant and begins an upward climb.
As a member of the KU Rock Climbing Club, Keel, Glen Ellyn, Ill., senior, visits Robinson's massive climbing wall three times a week to practice the sport he loves.
Keel began climbing more than one year ago and uses the wall at Robinson to prepare for outdoor climbs.
"It is a challenge both mentally and physically," Keel said. "When you look down when you are at the top and see what you accomplished, it's exhilarating."
Mike Gee, president of the rock climbing club and Thousand Oaks, Calif., junior said that the club gives those who climb an opportunity to improve.
"We have a lot of climbers with different abilities," Gee said. "The better climbers can practice to go to competitions, and the newer ones can get into the sport. It is really technical, and there is a lot to learn."
Indoor rock climbing consists of climbing walls by choosing a path of holds on
the wall. Climbers use the holds, which protrude only inches off the wall, to grab onto and push off with their legs. They wear harnesses and use ropes when climbing to higher levels to rappel back down to the ground, and for safety.
"A lot of people have the misunderstanding that climbing takes upper body strength," Jeff Johnson, Louisburg junior, said. "It really is more foot work and using your legs properly, paying attention to what holds your feet are on."
Johnson said that he does not treat climbing as a workout, but as a challenge of knowing exactly what to do.
The KU Rock Climbing Club reserves Robinson's wall Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays from 9 to 10:30 p.m. Although the club has about 90 registered members, only 10 to 20 practice regularly.
Amber Powell, Great Falls, Va., senior, said that she thought the best place for climbers to improve was at Robinson during the club's practice times.
The club is approximately 70 percent male, but Powell said the club's female members had never experienced sexism in the club.
"This is one of the only clubs on campus where you will not find any kind of discrimination. There is no gender competition," Powell said.
