Hello loves, I’ll admit, I am a newly minted rock climber. I hesitate even to use that term, as I can barely haul myself up a V1. Skill level aside, I want to celebrate the end(ish) of the semester with some awesome folks! I identify as a women, and feel a bit nervous trying a sport that is historically less …
Helloooo everyone, Finals season is upon us and I hope that everyone is doing amazingly!! Climbing is a great way to relax and reset so join me at Slaughter on Tuesday!

Hellooo fellow consumers in ecosystems, is anyone else feeling deeply enamored by trees as you navigate the world? Beckoned by their pine-needly-embrace? Harkened by their winding bark? Tickled by the secrets of their inner water tubes? My pondering and admiration of trees shall only reign stronger as we march towards winter, so I say let’s go putz around the woods …
Why helloooo our dearly beloved outdoor-roving humans. Anusha, Ella, and I were pondering how connecting with our local land, trees, rocks, mud, minerals, and life brings us comfort amidst challenging times like these, so we wanted to make space for us to commune with the outdoors — and each other — however we need to for ourselves. We shall gather …
Hey y’all, Rock climbing has always been a way for me to de-stress and take my mind off of the things bothering me, so Ben and I felt like a group trip to Slaughter after classes on Wednesday would be nice. There are no set plans here, just an opportunity to come together and monkey around with friends after a …
Hello friends !! Do you like nature? Do you want to show the O’hill trails some love? Do you want to go on the ultimate scavenger hunt (that of trash and trees)?

Are YOU fan of grabbing rocks? Do YOU also like climbing up things using said rocks?? Oh my stars lucky you!!! Sarah and I are leading another intro to bouldering class tomorrow at 5:30pm.

Hellooooo, my dear trail wanderers!!! The trails have been bursting and singing with life (literally though, anyone else hearing birds chirping deep in the night?? Is that from light pollution?) and as spring rumbles on, we have the gallumptous chance to GET JIGGY IN THEM!!!! What better way to celebrate our Earth this weekend than to give our local land …

With spreak break (Moab!!) looming it seems wonky to think about things after spring break, but those trails are BOOMIN and don’t wait for us mere humans so what better way to bop back into Cville than to get trailing together?!?! This trip will be similar to our last one, and they’re both simple projects so anyone new trail friends …

Oh hellooooo, my fellow trail comrades!!! Anyone else staring at computer screens a lot and wondering what it would be like instead to stare at BEAUTIFUL LEAVES?

HELLOO TRAIL MONGERERSS!!! Sometimes, things don’t work out the way you want them to. Sometimes, you put your socks on then realize they’re better suited for your ears. And sometimes, you craft a beautiful trail but Jason from CAMBC tells you it’s too steep. BUT, NEVER FEAR!!!!! For we shall REUNITE this Monmorn at high 8 AM for another BEAUTIFUL …
Helloooo, my fellow dirt-inspired creatures!!! The sun is out, the leaves are crinkling, and the TRAILS ARE CALLING!!! This will be a continuation of our trail birthing experience last week, except, as is often the case with the second child, our labor shall pass more smoothly: we gots the clinometers, flags, and BODOSSS locked n loaded so we gon JUMP …
