WOAC2010 Update!

This update shows some cool pictures from WOAC's Spring 2010 semester.

The 2nd Annual Climbing Competition brought out the toughest competitors on campus. It was good to get everyone back on the wall during the stress of looming exams.

The weather was really warming up and spring showed WOACers down the exciting rapids of the upper Green River Gorge. Some members were testing their skills in inflatable kayaks for the first time, while other were returning veterans from WOAC's 2009 trip.

This year WOAC tried out a new type of outdoor activity: Canyoneering. A group of nine Adventurous WOACers headed to Cove Creek to test their agility on the boulders of this steep creek's gorge.

The trip started with a short hike, that required a little rock climbing skills.

Green River Kayaking Expedition Spring '09

The adventurers gearing up before they take on the mighty Green River. A high-adrenaline, 4-mile upper section of the river. Only those with a hunger for adventure, and maybe some granola, need apply.

Fact: WOAC provides high-octane adventures out of doors like none other. We also like to let our members to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, a remote section of pristine temperate forest. Breathtaking!


I think the facial expressions say it all.



Trips like these strengthen the body, mind, and friendships between our members. We're a pretty close community here at WOAC.


That was a close one James!


A little too close, poor Vivek.


With proper safety instruction and a positive, yet focused, mindset, it is nearly impossible to have a bad time on the Green.



Again the pictures speak for themselves.


As WOAC's last trip for the 2008-2009 school year, the Green River Inflatable excursion was perhaps our best trip yet. It won't be too long before we're paying another visit to Green River Adventures.
