Climbers of all skill levels competed for hundreds of dollars in climbing equipment at the Johnson Center’s rock climbing competition last night. About 70 competitors were divided into four classes: beginners, advanced, ladies only, and a faculty and staff group. The athletes were judged based on a points system while attempting to climb pre-planned routes that were marked with colored tape. The Johnson Center’s rock wall is open Monday through Friday, 12 -10 p.m. and 2-7 p.m. on weekends.
