[quote=Anonymous]Climbing is common among students now. Many colleges from average to elite have club climbing teams. It is no different than any other EC. There are buckets if climbers in the Dmv region as well as the midwest and west coast. There are state and national-level climbers that do not place in college above their course rigor/grades/scores. We know about a half dozen of them well in the last 4 cycles: they were above average to near the top in their class academically and went to schools that aligned with their academics: the worst climbers based on that talent went to the best schools (they were the best academically). The best one with a national rank had stats borderline for the second-best flagship and did not get in, went out of state to a small LAC then transferred to ucBoulder which has a good team .
 It is not a hook. It is Olympic since 2021, thus if one were an Olympian that could make a difference. Otherwise it will not because it is not recruitable. And also not as important to schools as the oft-repeated tuba player and the like who are needed for the orchestra. And it is not academic like the debate teams:  state and national level debaters do get a boost. [/quote]
