The Red River Gorge in Kentucky is known across the country as a mecca for rock climbing. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced climber the Gorge offers many challenging rock faces to explore.
For a group of Berea College students, the Gorge became a place to build teamwork, trust, and leadership skills as part of the school’s Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program, also known as EPG. EPG is a multi-year program for undergraduates where they learn to practice and use entrepreneurial leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia.
In July fourteen freshmen and sophomores, led by Professor Peter Hackbert, came to the Gorge for a day of rock climbing. Many of them had never been to the Gorge or even tried rock climbing.
