With the sun beaming down on Jeremy Yeates' face he intricately climbed his way up a vertical sandstone cliff breathing in fresh air with every move.

"This time of year is my favorite," said The Outdoors Club co-president and supply chain management senior.

Yeates has been out climbing at The Ledges in Grand Ledge's Oak Park almost every day this week and says he loves to climb outdoors keeping it a mysterious adventure as to where his next move will be since grips blend in with the rock.

But Yeates is prepared for Michigan weather to do a 180 degree turn, putting a brief stop to climbing outdoors and reverting to inside climbing.
