Wall Chair

Aidan Westphal

Computer Science '26

Hey, I’m Aidan and I’m your wall chair! I’ve been climbing our campus wall since the first week of my freshman year. You’ll usually find me at the casual climbing practice hours, especially since I’m obliged to be there now. If you see me around campus, make sure to play “Flower” by Moby or say “quick set of 10,” but be prepared. I’m super excited to climb with you all, I mean do sallies, I mean climb! I also made this WONDERFUL website!
