The Slippery Rock University Fall Bouldering Bash is one of the few actual competitions PSOC participates in. This year a number of patrons of PSOC went out and made us proud. This competition, and any other competition at Slippery Rock is highly recommended. The people are very nice, the wall is great (Nicros natural wall), the routes can challenge any level of climber, and they always have great door prizes that everyone gets at the end of the competition. Karen and Emily took second and third respectively in the women's division. Everyone had fun and no one died.

Adventure Racing (Tussey Ultramarathon)
October 16, 2010
Organized by: Emily Riddle
This competition full of crazy people is another of the few that PSOC actually does. The weather for the ultramarathon was perfect, "a beautiful blue sky amplified the peak fall foliage!" Memories from the trip include:
Witnessing a runner... who will very much be left unnamed.. receive a baton and (in a panicked state) run in the wrong direction.. e.g in the direction from which she just received the baton. It was an absolutely priceless moment... spreading smiles to many faces. =)
Also:
blue sky and peak fall foliage
rocking out to pump up music in the car between every checkpoint
very creative checkpoint hand-offs
running hills of death
crossing the finish line
BBQ chicken
So in case you didn't realize, we ran in the Tussey Ultramarathon... and it was a superb event! Lots of people frolicking through Rothrock forest for 50 miles. We ran two teams so we each person ran with a partner the entire time. Four girls per team... 50 miles split between us.. so essentially a half-marathon a piece. Anyhow, regardless of the distance, it was agreed by all that it was one of the best races any of us had ever ran. A really cool team event. Run this race. Enough said. It is amazing. No one died.
They finished in 7:48:27!

Milton Rock Gym
October 10, 2010
Organized by:
Scott Campbell
Alie Treciak
This spirited adventure to the Milton Rock Gym is the first trip of the semester for those who prefer the vertical expeditions. The group began with some bouldering and top roping, and somehow free apples. At some point they went to get food at a nearby OIP. Pizza, eggplant parm, and cheesesteak that secretly longed to be eggplant parm but was not to be was had. Following the food more climbing was had, and then hanging out on the floor. The group definitely had a good time because they departed with sore fingers and had some coffee and donuts. Fun was had by all and no one died.

Spring Creek Cleanup
April 10, 2010
Organized by: Nick Clabbers
The annual spring creek cleanup was held on April 10 this year. Although there was no picnic and lime-green shirts this year, the same fun was still had. Every year PSOC flies down spring creek from TMO to Milesburg, picking trash from the banks and making everything cleaner overall. This year was a little chilly, starting temps were low 40s, but the bright sun warmed up the intrepid cleaners with great zeal. Great fun was had by all the participants, even those who went for a swim. One might even say they had the most fun, one might indeed. As per the usual strange things were recovered from the creek. The most notable items being a trike, stereo, several tires, and battery that unfortunately fell out of a canoe and now resides somewhere in the creek. This year's haul overall was less than last year's, meaning the creek may be getting cleaner. No one died, watch out for meth labs.

Milton Rock Gym
February 14, 2010
Organized by: Alie Treciak, Darcy Mckinley Lester
This climbing event was held at the Milton Rock Gym in Milton PA, an indoor rock gym. Following the pattern of obvious statements, the weather wasn't really a factor however it was warm if a bit rainy. The entire group collaborated on bouldering problems enabling even beginners to try the harder challenges. The atmosphere was awesome and everyone climbed hard regardless of success. One group held the tradition OIP pizza-luncheon while another group practiced their free will and ate at Subway. Really? Subway over OIP and onion rings?
