Maybe you’re an environmental science major, maybe you wear Chacos or Bedrock sandals, maybe you have a Nalgene with a bunch of cool stickers from sick, dope, gnarly places you’ve been and outdoors brands you love, perhaps all three–but it still doesn’t feel like enough.

Hello everyone! I had an amazing adventure last Sunday, and thought I’d shoot for 2 in a row! This one is definitely quite challenging, coming in at 17.6 miles and 3,156 feet of elevation gain…Quite a lot of mileage, so the elevation gain will probably be diffused throughout, but it’ll definitely be an endurance hike :-0… I have a NP …

Haven’t seen a lot of trail runs posted in the last year or so – we gotta bring that back. What’s not to love about a good mountain run? I put the level as ADV? cause I’m really not a particularly advanced trail runner. I tend to find myself walking up much anything more than a slight incline. But, at …
Yo yo what up my fellow bikers, I’ve been wanting to volunteer at CCB for a long ass time, mainly because I don’t have enough to do and academic clubs are boring, but also because they are an awesome organization that empowers people and is actively making Charlottesville and the world a better place. We’ll be learning the basics of …

Both descents come off of Reddish Knob, a road-accessible 4400’ summit on the WV border that offers some of the best mountain biking on the East Coast. Because of the size of this ride and …

OK guys. Old rag is awesome, if you’ve been, you know, if you haven’t, you probably still know. While it is awesome normally, I would argue that it is even more awesome in the fall during sunrise. You may ask,,, dude? how will we be able to see it during sunrise?? to which I say, duh, we wake up balls …
Just as the prophecy foretold, the cold winds of winter have arrived. Only last Saturday, birds sang and squirrels chattered in the trees, and all the woodland creatures frolicked for the simple joy of being alive. Now, the thick blanket of winter has settled upon the earth, the trees shiver off the last of their leaves, and and paddle boarding …

I’m basically obsessed with upper meadow right now (i.e. I have climbs to collect). There are climbs from 5.7-5.13; though, if you’re slab averse you’ll need to get on some of the 5.10 and up climbs (they’re better than the slab anyways). If you like slab, you’ll prolly have a nice time at zero buttress; but in my opinion, the …
Just about a year ago, we set out for a long ass hike. Was it enjoyable? Honestly mostly but when it got dark and started raining I changed my mind. Did some people bail out? Yeah, you should ask her about it. Are we doing it again? At Jillians request, yes… But, at least I was able to come up …

*Sorry I had to repost-technical difficulties* Let me preface by saying I’m quite proud of that pun…it took me an entire lecture to come up with when I probably should’ve been focusing(numbers go brrr). All I’m saying is I deserve some appreciation for my sacrifice, y’know, my weight in gold or something like that. But I’ll settle for you signing …
Super simple, super straightforward sunset hike at Bearfence!! I have like basically no time for fun activities during the week, so I am cramming in as much fun as I can on Saturdays.

There are few things better than a delicious meal in the backcountry. But when backpacking, it can be hard to make the meal of your dreams come to life.

Hello outdoors people: As always all the important information is in the tittle, bring a line if you have one and bring all the good vibes. I also learn last time that having access to bug spray will make it easier to walk the line since you won’t be fighting mosquitos as you go. Also if anyone has a speaker …
