From Newbie to National Qualifier: Nate Wilberding '25 Discusses Climbing Journey


The mountains are calling and Nate Wilbderding ’25 must climb them.

Nate had never touched a rock face of any kind until the winter of his junior year, the kind of experimentation that is encouraged by Christ School’s Outdoor Program. He has progressed to the point where Nate has qualified for June’s USA Climbing National Bouldering Championship in Portland.

The Cuningham House Proctor from Tryon, N.C., discusses this evolution in this video package.
