Macquarie University Malaysian Students' Association: Review: MSA Rock Climbing

Hi Everyone,

I'm getting tired of blogging MSA reviews. if you do the counts correctly, up until now, MSA had over 16 events through out this year only and there are more to come.

Anyway, here the review for MSA Rock Climbing.

First, I need to apologise for causing some confusions regarding the date of the event. It was my fault to miss-inform that the event was on the 29th Sept where by the correct date was 29th August.

Now, back to the review. MSA Rock Climbing is an annual 2nd semester for MSA. If you missed the opportunity to climb like spiderman this year, you can also try next year. The venue for this event was Trafalgar Gym near MUV. The cost for members was only $10 whereas the actual cost was $20 per person. MSA was the one who subsidies the difference.

That's why it is always better to attend MSA events as MSA subsidies the events very very often. The event was suppose to begin at 11am. However, not many people came on time. I guess MSA members are still finding it hard to get rid of the "Malaysian Time habit".

Later, more and more people started to come. Not long later, the rock climbing room was filled with people. Basically, the rock climbing room is room where all the wall was the "rocks" and the "rock" was around 2 story tall. Yet, it was very scary when you are on the top.

For this event, there were a lot of first-timers. Hence, there was a need for an instructor. Who would think that the instructor was only a kid. I'm not joking. I have a photo as proof. Fortunately, there were some experienced MSA members there to help the first-timers.

Since there was not a time limit to the rock climbing service, most people left when they were tired or hungry. It was amazing for MSA members who were fasting on that day to come and climb the rocks. Most people went home around 2pm and by 5pm the event ended officially.

Rock Climbing is a lot of fun and very challenging. I encourage all of you to at least try once during your Uni years. You may even find some amusing scenes.
