Last Tuesday current MERO students had the opportunity to visit Planet Granite Belmont and try their hands (and feet!) at Rock Climbing!  Student cheered each other on as they tackled the rock, and pushed themselves to try challenging routes.  This was a very important event for building a strong group culture and morale, as students learned through climbing to support each other and trust Tyler and I.  Thank you Planet Granite for allowing us this amazing opportunity and for being a strong supporter of MERO! 

The very next day Tyler and I roped in again to take a group of MERO alumni climbing.  Three of the students had been on our alumni climbing trip in November and were eager to get back at it again.  The favorite route was a slightly overhung crack climb that challenged the students' abilities.  Students already are asking about when we can go back and climb again!
