afternoon as they put their best efforts into some videos.\u00a0 The majority of the team is made up of relatively new climbers so their performance was outstanding to say the least.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the more experienced climbers put on quite a show as evidenced by the videos.\u00a0 Most of the climbers have reached the point in their climbing where they are focusing more on using the smaller and more difficult holds.\u00a0 Of particular note is Cadet Timpany whose bouldering ability far surpasses the rest of the team.\u00a0 Cadet Timpany cannot rest on his laurels as the remainder of the team is quickly closing the gap on him!\u00a0 Cadet Smith is probably the least capable of all the team however he has already shown vast improvement since the beginning of the semester as his strength and technique are improving daily.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Videos of Rock Climbers<\/h2>\n<p>The following is a sampling of some of the videos taken.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"
