Wednesday:

Buxton Ravine Brouhaha

Yes, I have checked the weather for Wednesday! I spent Spring Break soaking up the sun, and I can’t think of a better welcome back to Massachusetts than getting, well, soaked. This will be a wet, muddy, 6 mile hike with a quite steep 1.5 mile incline and a (small) stream crossing! Please bring a raincoat, shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and a sunny disposition. Meet on Resky steps at 1PM and sign up here. Email Justyn ([log in to unmask]) with any questions! *If it’s like, absolutely pouring, this will probably be cancelled*

Climbing Wall open!  There will be open climbing from 8 - 10 pm at the Nate Lowe Climbing Wall in the Towne Field House.  No experience necessary.  All equipment provided.  This is for WOC members only and memberships are available at the wall.

Friday:

Weekly sunrise hike– a “wake up” and down trek on Pine Cobble. Meet on Paresky steps at 6:00 AM for a dawn good sunrise hike! (sunrise is at 6:23AM). This is a 3 mile hike round trip, one thousand foot elevation gain to get your blood flowing and endorphins coursing through your veins!! Dress for the weather -  good footwear for a trail that will be very muddy, wet and always rocky!  Bring a filled water bottle and a cup for hot drinks.  Return to campus by 8:30AM. Please sign up on this form or email [log in to unmask] with any questions!
