Outdoors Club at Pitt

Hello beautiful people!! Another successful meeting! We discussed the success of our trip to breakneck! We were able to train a good few climbers on leading and cleaning so that we can hopefully bring more fresh faces on trips later on! Dolly Sods is still currently on for this weekend!! If you are on that trip, you've received an email regarding your car and all the details you need. If you did not receive that email, you are not on the trip! Stay tuned those of you on the trip as we may have to make adjustments for weather!  We also held signups for Laurel Highlands Hiking trail which is up in the Ohiopyle region! If you heard about Dolly Sods and thought 'oof that sounds way too hardcore for me' then Laurel Highlands is the trip for you! It will be a single-night trip going from 10/8 (Saturday) into 10/9 (Sunday) with travel to and from on each respective day. More details can be found at the top of the signup form here: https://forms.gle/g7nWfpPzPziUQcPr5 If you have an...

Hello all you beautiful people! Just a little intro to tomorrow's meeting so you know what's coming up! General notes: the roster for Dolly Sods has been sent out, if you didn't receive the email that told you you were on the roster, you're not on the roster. We will be meeting at the WPU porch/plaza at 9pm tomorrow, officers will be on the porch, you guys can muster in the plaza below. First up, we'll review our trip to Breakneck and the climbing that got underway there. Spoiler alert: it was good. Second, we will meet to discuss the Dolly Sods trip (hopefully) upcoming this weekend. Weather is currently looking quite wet which would be more of a slog than a hike, but we'll discuss more at the meeting tomorrow. Finally, we will also be holding signups for Laurel Highlands which will be taking place not this weekend, but the next (10/8). It's some lovely hiking up in the Ohiopyle area, which means it's not too long a drive. If you're interested pleas...

Hello all you lovely people! Regarding tonight's meeting, we only had a few items to cover and they will be attached below accordingly. First up, we met with our squad heading out to Breakneck this weekend, everyone on that trip was present or otherwise accounted for. If you did not receive an email, you are not on the trip. Next up, we had sign-ups for our trip to Dolly Sods! This will be held the weekend of October 1st, and will be both the Saturday and Sunday in the beautiful Dolly Sods with some zesty backpacking, there's more details at the top of the signup form right here: https://forms.gle/h49yDiEsYcKFpYd1A Finally we also had a little info session regarding backpacking and what it takes to get into it. We went a little overboard with it, as you can rent most, if not all of this gear from the club. But if you're feeling excited about life you can review this list our backpacking chairs have created covering backpacking gear: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HCQ7r...

Hello beautiful people!! Just a quick little email regarding our meeting tomorrow, once again this will be held at 9pm in the WPU plaza, facing the porch. Little clarification: the officers will be on the porch, members in the plaza, we'll shout down at you. First, our roster for Breakneck has been released, and everyone on the trip has received information regarding the trip: please check your email to make sure you're at tomorrow's meeting if you're on the trip. We will be dispensing important information. Second, we will be holding signups for Dolly Sods! Dolly Sods will have an early departure on October 1st. Saturday and Sunday will hold a combined ~20 miles of backwoods backpacking, we can provide some gear, but cannot outfit a roster's worth of backpackers, if you have your own gear, that would help. While this sounds a bit grueling, the views are well worth it and it is one of our most popular backpacking trips. Finally, if Dolly Sods sounds interesting to y...

Hello beautiful people!! A quick little meeting tonight, with a few things that went down! First we chatted about Ohiopyle! That happened, it rained a bit, but it was still fun and there was some rafting before the rain, so sounds like a success to me! Breakneck will be occurring on the 24th of September! This is something of an outdoor teaching moment where we'll be leading some trainings in lead belaying, climbing, and cleaning. We are ideally looking for people already comfortable with belaying and some degree of outdoor experience who are looking to up their outdoor tricks of the trade! This is to help us get more people lead climbing and belaying to set routes on our larger trips where there are more gumbies. If you are interested please sign up here: https://forms.gle/uakm5ZX5othx5Ydu9 Our calendar on the website is now updated so you can look ahead for our tentative plan for trips! There are also names of officers if you click on the trips so that you can see who to contact ...

Please ignore that top bit if you want to keep getting emails, you'd be surprised how many people don't read past the first line before asking to unsubscribe :) Anywho, with another successful meeting, I'm just summarizing the events for those unable to make it. If you have not done so yet, please join the discord, we will shortly destroy the GroupMe's and cast their ashes onto the flames that toast our lovely marshmallows that make up Discord, so to keep in the loop, discord is best:  https://discord.gg/b85mGsRT IF YOU'RE GOING ON OHIOPYLE, you MUST have paid dues and filled out the waiver by the time the trip departs.

Ahah oopsies, late on this one, my b! Anywho, hello beautiful people! Quick notes for tonight's meeting: If you are on Ohiopyle, you should have gotten an email regarding it and you NEED TO SHOW UP TONIGHT.

If you are not going on Ohiopyle you can also still pay dues/sign waivers/show belay certification!
