Summit of Mt. Washington - MLK Weekend 2010

This past MLK weekend, a group of fourteen buckeyes piled into their cars and began a long journey to North Conway, New Hampshire. The fifteen hour car ride was only the beginning of an exhausting, yet exhilarating, weekend. Saturday morning they set out on a summit mission to conquer the infamous Mt. Washington. Despite the mountain’s history of unpredictable weather and dangerous conditions, our crew made Moutaineer’s history. Not only did they summit in record time, but with all fourteen climbers reaching the top, they were the largest group to ever complete a climb of this magnitude. The bar has now been set, Mountaineers! Let’s raise it even higher for next year’s attempt!

Beautiful rolling clouds. Middle climb.

Good vibes on mid-route.

100% summit success.  the whole group.

Big Free Climb at the New River Gorge - November 2009

It's not everyday you get to climb with 50 of your close friends in a location like the beautiful New River Gorge.  In November, the club did just that.  A grand total of 53 climbers from the stone crushing juggarnauts to the plastic pulling freshman set sights on the first big free climb in OSU history.  This trip was meant to bring together the masses and enjoy climbing, hiking, bouldering, and pizza.  Big thanks to Rivermen Whitewater and Sib Weatherford for hooking us up with a site large enough to camp and shout out to Pies and Pints for impossibly delicious pizza and beer!

Im extremely hyped by the way everything turned out.  Expect a repeat midway through spring quarter!  Enjoy the sights.

Moab Spring Break - March 2009

Its Moab.  I dont know another way to say it.  Beautiful, awe inspiring, deadly, red, world class....ok i thought of a few ways.  Camping on the bank of the Colorado below 400 foot Navajo sandstone cliffs and a stones through away from fantastic bouldering...Moab is fun.  To sum up, 24.5 members set out for a 3000 mile cross country trek in an attempt to hike, climb, get lost, camp, eat, and drink.  Ill let the pictures say what I cant.
