ultra-extreme aid station volunteering (volunteer at a 50 mile race!)
First of all, if you didn’t look too closely at the trip times… you really, really should (Also the fact that this is technically during Spring Break). I was like “hm I should volunteer at some ultras, that’d be fun,” so I emailed the race organizers being like “u need help?” and before I knew it, I was assigned to …
Springing on a Climbing Rope at the Red for Spring Break
Hey gamers! We’re going to the red, AGAIN. This time will be even better, I swear.

I’m hoping this trip will be pretty experienced folks, so priority to people who’ve climbed outside before. We plan to …

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Stalactites? (Intermediate Caving @ Paxton’s)
We’ve been wanting to explore deeper into Paxton’s Cave lately, and the furthest room in is called the Christmas Room! It’s known for being beautifully decorated like a winter scene. We figured it was perfect timing to start off December trying to get to this room. Be warned, however- this cave is a crazy maze and we’re not sure if …

Election Day Sport Climbing
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. …
Sport Climbing at the new
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.

Rocks. Orange Rocks. Climb Big Orange Rock.
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 …

Reed’s Creek Vertical Sufferfest (aka Climbing Marathon)
What’s up CAMPERS???? I have this idea where I prefer quantity over quality and so I figured why not do every (easy-ish) route at a crag in one day. So we’re doing that. There’s a few different ways we could do this. I’m thinking maybe make it a kind of relay where we have teams of two alternating climbs and …
