Holiday spirit

What better way to celebrate the end of classes & spread the holiday cheer than... gather with fellow MITOCers to tell (or listen to) stories about outdoor adventures!

Whether it's to reminisce on your sunny summer sends, fall foliage frolics, or want to get us stoked for winter with a retelling of your favorite ski tour... we are looking for volunteers to give trip reports! Please email climbing-chair@mit.edu and we'll get you on the list (climbing not required to be the main activity). Presentations are generally 10-20 minutes. (Update: no longer accepting presentations.)

Location: MIT room 3-270

Agenda:

  • 7pm - show up & hang out - there will be some holiday-themed snacks and refreshments. We may have some activities as well!
  • 7:30-9pm - trip reports
  • Afterwards (optional): migration to a local establishment

Presentation List:

  • "The ABCs of AMS: My Solo Attempt on Annapurna Base Camp." - Will Haggerty
  • "The John Muir Trail"- Liam Morley
  • "Wild Civilization: Climbing in the Alps" - David Lawrence
  • "Sam Shep & MEM Ultimate Trip Report 1" - Sam J. Shepard and Matthew Elmore Merritt
  • "Corsica: Running and Climbing in the Tavignanu and Restonica Valleys" - Emma Dyer

Please sign up so that we have a headcount for snacks! Hope to see you there.
