Senshu University (President: Kuninobu Kubo) has installed a new bouldering wall for sport climbing at its Neyagawa Campus. Matching the lead wall installed in 2024, this bouldering wall meets international competition standards. Together, the two walls are collectively named 'SETSUNAN APEX WALL' (nickname: Setsu-epe). A completion ceremony will be held on July 4, together with the newly completed kendo hall, 'Setsusho-kan'. 【Key Points】 ● Installation of a new sport climbing bouldering wall and completion ceremony ● Top-level techniques demonstrated by Senshu University athletes, including Japanese national team members, during test climbs ● Three athletes from the university selected for the 'World Climbing Youth World Championships Arco 2026' delegation SETSUNAN APEX WALL (Boulder) capable of accommodating various difficulty levels 'SETSUNAN APEX WALL' derives its name from the word 'APEX,' symbolizing climbers striving toward their ultimate limits and highest achievements.
