POC: Putting On Costumes

See what we did there with the title? It's almost Halloween, which means if you made it onto the Seneca Trip, you will be receiving an email about rides sometime in the next day or two. Remember that costumes are not only allowed, but encouraged! Also keep in mind this weekend will be cold, so make sure to bring the appropriate layers. 

Next week will be the last week we will be accepting new orders for the new shirts. REMEMBER THAT WE NEED YOU TO BRING MONEY IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!! So please show up next week and pay for your shirts!

Also, next week's meeting will be held in an undisclosed location within the Cathedral. We will update you once we know where we're going!

Happy Halloween!

POC: People Often Climb

How's it going people!?

PMADD is this weekend, so if you were signed up for volunteering with the POC, then get your helper face on! Look for an email regarding that.

The week after (Oct 28-30) is Seneca, which is our last (graduation style if you will) climbing trip for the semester. We will be going to Seneca Rocks, West-by-God-Virginia and sending climbing teams to the summit. You will get to stay in the ever bumping campground of Princess Snowbird with the world famous Yokum's General Store for all your glamping needs. 

This trip will have limited climbing spots and those with outdoor climbing experience with the club will be given priority and teaming up with some of the other more experienced climbers in the club. There will also be limited spots for a caving trip guided by Liz so make sure you sign up here:

We have come up with a design for this years shirts and they look sweet! Here's a link to view the design and preorder a size:

As always keep donating your unused clothes to Anna Greenberg at Thriftsburgh to be sustainable and give yourself that sweet, sweet karma for when exams roll baack around. 

I believe that's that, but if I forgot anything, I'll let you know.

Peace out peeps!

Sorry for no meeting last night, but Reel Rock was kickin! There were highs, there were lows, there were falls, there awesome ascents, and there was even a catchy song about a boat! So thanks to everyone who came out with us. 

Well, I haven't heard that we lost any skydivers this weekend, so props to everyone who was crazy enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Way to not die!

 

For any trips this weekend, the lists are/have been finalized and if you made it the will be/was an email letting you know if you made the cut.
