I've been in the climbing club for two years, and it's ben a highlight during my time at Queen's. I've learned a lot, challenged myself, made great friends, and climbed some amazing places!! This community has helped me grow as both a climber and a person. So glad I joined!

I've been a part of QCC for just over two years now, and not only is climbing a lot of fun, it's also been an amazing way to meet new people and make some great friends!
