Amazing time on the rock climbing and conservation gap semester!

I participated in the rock climbing and conservation in the American west gap semester and had a fantastic experience. We spent our time rock climbing, backpacking, and canyoneering throughout Colorado, Utah, and Arizona all while learning about environmental ethics and leadership. I learned more new climbing skills than I can count. I have climbed for a long time but mostly in a gym and now I feel like I have the skills that will let me explore so many different areas of the climbing world. I had an wonderful time and made some amazing friends.
