This is an amazing beginner caving trip.  Spectacular views await participants in the fountain and hurricane room of Pine Hill.  This cave is a great combination of crawls; open spaces, and includes a waterfall climb. This is a wet cave, so come dressed to get damp and dirty.

Due to the weather the Haunted Trail and Tower of Terror has been canceled for this evening.

The hike will begin at the Jackson Street Parking Lot and follow the Narrows Trail through the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve, passing numerous overlooks and waterfalls within the first mile as we make our way west into John Bryan State Park. Once inside John Bryan we will continue to follow the Little Miami River for about 2 miles before crossing over a footbridge and looping back around along the South Gorge Trail.  This hike will be approximately 4 miles round trip.

Students in this course, developed by the League of American Bicyclists, will learn:

This is an opportunity to utilize the skills you developed during the Introduction to Lead Climbing.  We will go to an outdoor climbing park and practice lead climbing.  Participants will have the opportunity to lead climb or practice more mock lead climbing.  There are also opportunities to top rope or boulder.  Trip leaders will use their discretion regarding participants’ ability to lead climb.

This class will cover types of lead climbing, equipment, lead belay techniques, proper clipping methods and basic commands.

The cost is $10.00 and includes all equipment, and instruction.

Join the ORC and climbing expert Bill Johnson on an adventure that will take you to new heights!  Within the 63,000 acres of New River Gorge National River are over 1,400 established rock climbs.  The “New” has become one of the most popular climbing areas in the country.  The cliffs at New River Gorge are made up of a very hard sandstone and range from 30 to 120 feet in height.  The rock is very featured, and an abundance of crack and face routes are available.  This short course is for all, beginner to advanced!  Come out for an amazing weekend.

Join the Outdoor Resource Center for some fun on the Mad River. We will provide you with some basic instruction on land before guiding you down the river from Eastwood Metropark to Riverscape Metropark. This is a great way to unwind after a long day and see the city from a new perspective. 

Is not owning a mountain bike keeping you from trying mountain biking?  If so, then come out to MoMBA, MetroParks Mountain Bike Area and borrow one of their program bikes to ride for a lap or two!  Bikes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Helmets are manditory and provided with the bike.
