Location of Climbing Competition

ArchiPOD Site

[Fictional Context] In 2026, Lawrence, Kansas will hold the National Collegiate Bouldering competition. The University of Kansas volunteered the lawn in front of Watson Library as the competition site. The University of Kansas descides to sponser four students to send to the compete because it will be so close.

As a result of this decison, they will build archiPODs for the four competitors and a common training area where they can work on more difficult climbing and strength training than what the Ambler Rec Center offers.
