Climbing

Walls!

On March 12 the climbing
wall at Selkirk College was
busy—very busy.

The Campus Recreation
Climbing Challenge tumed out to
be a success, with 27 climbers
turning out to put their strengths
and dexterity to the test. All but
one of the climbers were Selkirk
students.

“I thought we'd get more
climbers competing from the
community,” said Laura Adams,
Selkirk College Wildland
Recreation Program Instructor,
adding that quite a few climbers
come from the community of
Castlegar and area. Adams also
said all climbers are welcome to
use the wall during future
competitions or otherwise.

This was the first competition
held on the college's six-month-
old climbing wall; the next
competition is likely to take place
next fall.

The College’s Climbing Club
meets every Monday afternoon.
Most of those competing also
belong to the club and are either
Wildland Recreation or Forestry
Program students.

“They (climbers) are mostly
from the Wildland Recreation
Program,” Adams said. “They
gain some outdoor skills in the
course.”

The climbers who use the wall
on a regular basis range in age
from their late teens to mid-
forties, according to Adams.

“We're definitely going to
make it (competition) an annual
campus event,” she said.

There were two events and the
standard climbing competition
format is used—where climbers
are not allowed to see or use the
wall before the competition
Starts,

Three different routes:
beginner, intermediate and
advanced were used in both
events and climbers are brought
into the gym one at a time to
climb their designated route
according to category.

“The advanced route was quite
difficult,” she said. “The person
who won it actually only got
half-way along the wall.”

Competitors are given a
maximum time of five minutes
and simply have to climb as far
along the wall as possible.

The second event was a Telay
involving teams of three climbers
each.

“It was great, it was really
exciting,” Adams said.

Teams and climbing routes are
given unique names such as
“Plum-it, “Spontaneous
Combustion, More Monkey Than
Funky and Lizard Lips.”

The sport of wall climbing is
catching on in Castlegar and the
rest of the world—in fact, it’s
scheduled to be a demonstration
sport at the 1992 Barcelona
Olympics.

Jason Remple climbed all the way to first place
Intermediate in the Climbing Challenge.
