This Saturday, along with the Student Rec. Center, Quest hosted a climbing festival, bringing out over 40 climbers to the Rec. Center! A bouldering competition, as well as yoga, live music, and natural foods created a great atmosphere. Congratulations to everyone who competed and helped with this festival’s success!
