Come out to Great Falls with us and learn a new outdoor skill!

Whether you’re an old pro or a total beginner, come join our experienced instructors for a day of climbing along the Potomac.

Due to limited capacity and expected demand, we ask that you register for the event only if you are sure that you will be able to attend and participate. Please see our cancellation and waitlist policy on the Graduate Life Outdoor Adventures webpage.

What to bring: a daypack containing ID, 2 water bottles, lunch, sunscreen, rain jacket and any other layers you might need

When/Where: Meet at Skyline Fitness Center on the Fairfax Campus at 7:30am. We will drive to the park, hike out to the climbing spot, climb and eat lunch at the crag, and return to campus around 3-4pm.
