Hi. I wanna climb at buzzard rock sunday. Come with me. Its awesome climbing. This whole crag is filled with beautiful, intermediate, runout slab, and its in VA, not sure what more anyone could ask for. That being said, this will be an intermediate trip, so ill prioritize intermediate climbers off the waitlist. There could be room for oneish beginner …
Well since nobody signed up for my other climbing trip đ I’m putting another one for election day; But it looks like there’s a good chance it’ll rainđ. Somehow it always rains when I’m there and never rains when I’m not there. But first buttress at the upper meadow stays dry and is prolly a good spot to go to. …
What better way to end the week than with mountain biking?? This Friday, Susannah and I are leading an intermediate WTF mountain biking trip on the Ohill Trails! This trip is for people who have done at least two or three rides and now feel confident on beginner trails. We will be riding the more intermediate trails on ohill, but …
Hey guys! This trip accidentally fell into the technological abyss so I’m reposting it, please re-sign up now if you originally filled out the form a couple of days ago. What better way to celebrate election day then to get out of civilization for awhile and go hike one of the (arguably) best day hikes in (or right outside of) …
Hi!!! I do have three midterms this week but we ALSO have a day off with some beautiful weather so Taylor and I decided we have to hike riprap as its on both of our to do lists. We’ll leave around 6am and aiming to get back at 1pm but I can’t promise we won’t go slower than planned to …
Hello ODC! Lillibet and I have come up with a completely original never before done idea: kayaking the James on election day! Weâll be sending a lower lap, so if you are looking to hit some class II-III+ rapids and donât mind getting a little cold, then come join us on the James! Since this is an intermediate trip, you …
Time to give this another try. I have wanted to ride BRS since Phillipâs post way back in May, but whether it was due to scheduling conflicts or weather conditions, I never got around to it. So here I am, taking matters into my own hands, leading my first âbig boyâ trip under the supervision and guidance of the legendary …
(imagine this is the future) night is falling, youâre alone in the woods, and you NEED to start a fire but all you have are a bunch of sticks and a piece of string⊠fear not! you have attended Jack and Edâs Firemaking Workshop in the cold of November, Monday at 5pm and you are prepared for this very moment! …
I’m really trying to climb outside this wknd cause the weather looks great. I ALSO DON’T MIND GOING SATURDAY IF PEOPLE CAN’T DO FRIDAY. SO PLZ SIGN UP IF YOU CAN DO SATURDAY. I think upper meadow is a good spot to go to. There are climbs from 5.7-5.13; If you like slab, youâll prolly have a nice time at …

I am reposting this as I was a little too excited and hasty and forgot to add questions about driving to the questionnaire. I’ll be giving priority to the order the waitlist was in before I reposted the trip (while also ensuring someone can drive to help take more people). Hey yâall! Itâs parents weekend this weekend and I convinced …
Come celebrate my 22nd birthday with me by mountain biking 22 (ish) miles on Charlottesvilleâs Rivanna Trail. The Rivanna Trail is a loop around Charlottesville that has a little bit of everything. It’s just about 22 miles with ONLY ~1000 ft of elevation gain. It has single and double track, some rooty climbs, some stream crossings, and even some riding …
*This is not your standard intermediate Charlottesville trip so please read the description in its entirety* Exactly a week ago (on our trip), Bryson and I came up with the idea for this trip and are super excited about it. The facts are simple, backcountry mountain biking isn’t the most accessible thing out there. Whether it’s the lack of immediate …
LET’S FREAKING BOULDERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a trip for all skill levels, everyone is welcome and it will be super fun!!!! We are going to: THE FOREST WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! It’s on the Blue Ridge Parkway, it’s very pretty and has a lot of great rock! IF YOU HAVE A CAR AND ARE WILLING TO DRIVE: please let us know!!

Hey y’all! It’s parents weekend this weekend and I convinced mine to bring my insanely fluffy and very energetic siberan husky with them. His name is Koda and you can see a picture of him in the trip photo. I’ve always wanted to take Koda hiking but my mom has always been concerned about him getting too hot but now …
Hey y’all! The weather is looking beautiful this Saturday for bouldering on the parkway so join Sydeny and me at Mustang Boulder! It’s a short, 10 minute approach to a sick boulder with classic lines. Mustang itself has one or two V2s for a warmup, a V3, two V4s, a V6, an ultra classic V7 called Supercharger plus a few …
Hey yâall Get excited for Peak!!!! This trip is open to climbers of all levels and I can give some tips + technique work to anyone interested. If you’re interested in doing ropes, feel free to do so, though I plan to boulder. If you want to sport climb, let me know if you need me to get a rope. …
Howdy folks! Now that we may have returned to proper fall weather, I want to spend as much time in the crisp air and talking about being from New England as possible! Rose River falls has been on my list because itâs a perfect ~4 mile hike with a WATERFALL! This trip should hopefully be a waitlist relief for all …
I’ve seen so many fall colors recently around Grounds and its super cool but do you know what’s even better than that?! Seeing fall colors on top of Humpback of course. So that means a hike to Humpback so we can see all the pretty fall colors and catch a beautiful sunset while we’re at it (it doesn’t get better …
what’s up gamers come trail running this wednesday! we will be running a loop around ohill that’s somewhere between 3-4 miles long, but we will likely stop and walk for part of it so do not be intimidated to sign up. you should bring: – running shoes – water (if you want) – gloves? its supposed to be really cold …
Weather looks awesome and Jill and I both get out of class at noon on Friday so were planning to hike the Big Run Portal loop in SNP. Contrary to what the name might suggest, this hike will neither be big, nor likely involve a run, nor likely involve passage through any portal. But it should give us some great …
Hello odc folks, I have been blessed with the privilege of leading climbing trips! Huzzah! Weâre looking to head out to Upper Meadow on Sunday and check out primarily Second and Third Buttress, which has some highly rated 11s including a route called Coffindafferâs Dream (oh shiver me timbers, got my shakin in my boots already), and a bunch of …
Hi guys !! So I have wanted to hike to Old Rag for awhile now, and I finally have time to do it! Except we will be going the shorter route because I don’t have thattttt much time. This is a 5.4-mile out-and-back hike via the Berry Hollows parking area. This will certainly still be a challenge as it has …
This trail has been teasing me for a while. Early in the semester, I went out for a big ride that planned to include the climb up Little Bald Knob and the Chestnut ridge descent. But, we had to turn around because of thunderstorms, and instead got a sad wet descent down the climb trail. Just a few weeks ago …
Hello odc goons! The original plan was to visit a boulder close by, but Ben and I decided that we wanna check out the parkway instead, which has many boulders to choose from and routes of all difficulties. Also we have a guidebook for the parkway so we probably wonât get lost. âTis the season for outdoor bouldering. Keep on …
**PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION AS THIS IS NOT A STANDARD INTERMEDIATE OHILL RIDE** If you stalk the website like me, I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of people mountain biking in their Halloween costumes and know how sick those pictures are, especially the one of Alan in a pink bunny costume midjump. Somehow the stars aligned and Alan and …
The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are getting redder, and the air is getting crisper. Let’s soak up the fall season while climbing Seneca. The plan is to summit Senecaâs South Peak from Gunsight. This is at least two pitches of Seneca-level 5.4 climbing. Note that Seneca is known for climbs that are significantly harder than their number grade …
Bryson and I led this same trip last week and it was an absolute blast. Dare I say it’s our favorite loop in Charlottesville? These trails are definitely intermediate so you should be more than comfortable on beginner trips and maybe even done an intermediate Ohill trip or two. That being said, WE WANT YOU ON THESE TRIPS! Donât feel …
I’m feeling a local ride tomorrow and am down to do whatever area people want. Options include Heyward/foxhaven, biscuit run, or Ohill. Let me know in the comments if thereâs anything you want to ride. This will be an intermediate trip, so I wonât be going over the basics as I would on a beginner trip, but we wonât be …
Gonna do a bit of running this wednesday morning around ohill. I plan on going for about 45 minutes with no particular route just kinda choose some trails as we go. I’m not too fast but do plan on running the whole time and will go up and down alot of hills so just keep that in mind. There is …

The main bouldering I want to try are Senior Discount (V3) and Gumby Traverse (V5), however, there are a ton of easier grades there so DO NOT FEAR for the Mountain Project iOS Mobile Application is …
While the Lawn is a scenic location for acro, we’re looking for some more mountain air this round. Let’s head up to Shenandoah National Park for this week’s acro yoga practice. We’ll hike up Little Calf Mountain, which is a low key 1.7 mile out-and-back hike with several grassy patches where we can settle in for some acro and mountain …
We have recently entered into Soup Season. Not to be confused with Stick Season or Fall, Soup Season is the time of year when you eat soup. And what do we eat soup with ??? SPOOOONS Come make a wooden spoon with Marion and I this Thursday at 3:30pm. Weâll have a fire going and some ODC knives (shoutout gearmasters) …
Hey Gamers, Last January, I went bouldering here with some lovely individuals. We had a grand time. I’d like to do it again, maybe with some of the same people, maybe with some new people, I don’t know who will sign up! What I can tell you is that this is the prime winter bouldering spot in the Southeast (that’s …
It is supposed to be sooooo nice on friday and the forest is sooo beautiful. We will meet at the gear room at 3:10, get crashpads at the 3:15 gear room and leave for the forest. If you dont have any of the things you need for climbing we can also grab those then! It’s about a 40-50 min drive …
I’ve been looking to do the full Triple Crown Loop for a long time, and with the forecast projecting freaky high temps for this time of year I want to take advantage of it. We’ll be doing the full loop (~34 miles) over the course of 3 days at a relatively moderate pace – I love backpacking but I’m not …
Couldn’t get onto NRG or didn’t have time for a full weekend trip but still need to scratch that primal itch to get out into woods far from civilization? Well, you’re in luck, ’cause this Saturday I’m headed out to Duncan Knob (+ a secondary peak called Strickler Knob) to see some reportedly gorgeous 360 views. Not only that, but …
**NRGE has reached capacity at the moment, so this trip is primarily for those already on NRGE looking for a trip on Sunday (waitlist will prioritize those already on trips/main carpool, but if people drop from nrge there is potentially still space) What better way to end a wild and wonderful (& wet) West Virginia weekend than scenic trail run? …
The fall foliage in Shenandoah National Park has begun to turn, so let’s head to the hills to check it out! This loop is slightly over 10 miles and has 2200 feet of elevation gain – we will follow the ridges and get plenty of overlooks of the fall colors. We will start from Blackrock Summit Parking and head south …
Not really sure where I want to ride tomorrow but Lucy has some grippy new tires and I want to get out. Options include Heyward/foxhaven, biscuit run, or Ohill (slightly biased against this cause I’m taking people on ohill Weds). Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you want to ride! This will be an intermediate trip, so …
Just a routine Max^2 INT mountain bike trip on ohill. This trip is for people who have done at least two or three rides, and now feel confident on beginner trails. If you are unsure about coming on this trip feel free to text me (my number can be found by clicking on my profile). If you donât have your …
Yo who couldn’t get off the waitlists for NRGE?? Me neither soooo…. thought we’d ditch those losers and go backpacking. Elliot Knob is a pretty sick trail that leads up to a fire tower we can campout in for the night. Its an 8.3 out-and-back trail with some pretty good elevation gain of 2400 feet so its a pretty chill …
Oh my!!!! Another mountain biking trip!!!! If youâve never rode the Rivanna, it is pretty epic and awesome and sweet and Iâd love to give you an introduction to it. Iâm hoping to ride up OHill, take a fun downhill trail to the Rivanna and ride it to Barracks. It wonât be a super crazy trip but I also donât …
howdy outdoors club folks do you find yourself bored on friday mornings and wish you were doing something exciting like trail running on ohill? come join me friday at 7:30 for a 3 mile ish run around the ohill trails! I don’t have a route planned so we will likely take breaks to look at the maps and decide where …
Man, I have wanted to ride BRS since Phillip’s post way back in May, but whether it was due to scheduling conflicts or weather conditions, I never got around to it. So here I am, taking matters into my own hands, leading my first “big boy” trip after some prompting from my trusty co-leader Mas S. I’ve heard amazing things …
**NRGE has reached capacity at the moment, so this trip is primarily for those already on NRGE looking for a trip on Sunday (waitlist will prioritize those already on trips/main carpool, but if people drop from nrge there is potentially still space) Shihe and I wanna do some harder sport climbing before heading home from nrge, so come along if …

Well youâre in luck because Chelsea and I are running back our beautiful, fall-foliage-and-riddle-filled backpacking trip from last year! We are pumped to take advantage of this beautiful weather with an overnight backpacking trip through the Brown Rocky Mountain trail …
Max S opened our eyes to some AMAZING trails near Foxhaven/Heyward and so Bryson and I want to ride them again with a bit more intensity since we now know what they look like. These trails are definitely intermediate so you should be more than comfortable on beginner trips and maybe even done an intermediate Ohill trip or two. That …
