They sure looked like mountain climb
ers, anyway, with miles of rope and hard
ware piled up all around. One person
held on to one end of the rope that was
attached up above. Another, attached
to the other end of the rope, prepared to
climb.
“Belay on," he called.
“On belay." came the reply from the
rope-holder.
“Climbing.”
“Climb on.”
So the climber began, scrambling up
the solid, sheer face of . . . the gym
wall? Relax, its only some members of
Mars Hill’s Outdoors Club climbing
and rappeling on the gym wall to make
pictures for a presentation on the art.
The Outdoors Club is probably one of
the most active clubs on campus. Al
ready they have gone camping in Lin-
ville Gorge and have taken a “float”
trip down the French Broad River. Sche
duled future trips include two backpack
ing trips, two more rafting, or “float”
trips, and more rock climbing: plus
other activities at the discretion of
the members.
Sounds good? Well, membership is
open to anyone, so it’s not too late to
join. The club’s officers are Robin Ren-
sink, secretary-treasurer, and Sherry
Atwill, president.
