Trevor Timm, left, a senior from Mt. Carroll studying microbiology, and Jessica Fort, a graduate student in wildlife conservation from North Carolina, scale the climbing wall July 24 at the Recreation Center. Timm, who has been climbing for five months and works at the climbing wall, said he took the job so he could start devoting some time to the sport. “The initial thing that interested me was you have to use your whole body and it’s a lot of thinking,” he said. “It’s not so much an exercise as it is trying to solve a problem. You have to move your body a certain way to get up the wall.”
