Marcus & Me: Connecting with Nature in Steel City

As part of the Outdoor Inclusion Coalition’s climbing program, ‘Big’ Marcus Schoffner shows ‘Little’ Marcus the ropes and explores the climbing potential of Pittsburgh’s industrial-era infrastructure. These often overlooked adventure playgrounds in the heart of the city provide a valuable connection to nature and the outdoors for numerous underserved communities that surround them.
