We are a student run organization dedicated to bringing together people with an interest in the outdoors since 1959. We venture into the wilderness through organized activities such as rock and ice climbing, mountaineering, caving, hiking, backpacking, flat and white water boating, sailing, skydiving, mountain biking, scuba diving, and more.
