I have worked in the outdoor program and climbing gym at OSU. I can tell you that the program at OSU has first rate new things, but the program was reorganized a few years ago and it has taken a turn for the worse I feel. Yes, there is a shiny new gym with lots of plastic, but that is where it ends. If you are motivated for climbing, it will do nicely, but there are a LOT of gumbys who are in there tripping over their daisy chain thongs. The director of the climbing gym and some outdoor programs replaced a VERY competent and appreciated man several years ago and has turned the whole place into a huge liability-scared cautionfest. If you are just looking for a climbing gym, OSU will beat out all other schools, but the outdoor program (trips, clubs, freedom to organize) blows donkey nutz. If you do go to OSU, give a holler, I would be more than happy to introduce you to some folks or give a catch as I am a townie now.
