Rock Climbing, Thursday, February 12

If you want to get involved in Outdoor Club, come hit the walls with us this week! We are climbing at Petra Gym this Thursday, February 12, starting at 6 PM.


What: Rock climbing
When: 6 PM, Thursday, Feb 12
Why: Because it's fun! It provides a great workout too for those seldom-used lower arm muscles.
Where: Meet in the FSC circle (by the fountains) at 6 PM to carpool. If you know where Petra is, feel free to go and meet us there. However, if you show up after 6:30 PM, the club will NOT pay for you.
Who: Anyone can come, as long as we have enough drivers (please offer to carpool if you have a vehicle). Simply show up! Sign-ups are not required.
Cost: FREE before 6:30 PM. If you plan to ride with someone, please offer gas money!


All equipment will be provided by the gym. Wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothes. No previous climbing experience is required for this trip! There are easy walls for beginners, more challenging walls, and some insane inverted arrangements that must be conquered by astonishing feats of athleticism. In short, fun for everyone!

If you are curious about the facilities we're using, check out Petra's web site: http://www.petrarockclimbinggym.org/

Hope to see you there!

    Amy, this will be such a great way to communicate to your club members and help spread the word about this great on campus organization! Awesome use of pictures too. They make it hard not to want to come join you all!

    I agree with Dawn on the great use of pictures. I'm wanting to get more active, but I'm intimidated by the unknown. The pictures give me a great visual to overcome my timidity when I decide to join. Great job!

    Thanks for your comments, everyone!

    Matt, yes, the club is open to all Drury students/faculty/staff. Most of our events are restricted to people with a Drury connection, but we will sometimes get tagalongs who just live in the area we're exploring.

    I'm glad you both like the pictures! I hope to put some up with each post (if relevant, of course).

    Don't be intimidated! Rock climbing is fun. If you have a terrible fear of heights, it's probably not the activity for you--but it can also help you get over your fear!
