At first look, a rock wall can seem intimidating! Its looming height can cause some hesitation among future climbers.

With the increasing curiosity about rock climbing, let's dive into the benefits people can expect to see when they get started.
Exercise is crucial for our mental and physical health, especially as college students with busy schedules.

Fortunately, swimming is an activity people can do to receive the same meditative-like effect for an upcoming stressful time.
