Join Graduate Student Life and Outdoor Adventures on Sunday, September 27 for our Great Falls Climbing Trip! 

We will meet at the Fairfax campus in the morning to ready equipment for the day, heading out to the crag shortly after. We will eat lunch at the cliff and return to campus in the early afternoon. Please wear clothes that you can comfortably climb in and that are appropriate for the weather. Be sure to bring your mask, ID, nonperishable lunch, snacks, and water – you will be climbing with all these belongings, so the fewer things you bring, the better! There are limited spaces on this trip.

For this event, we are holding a participation lottery, in an effort to make this opportunity equitable for all who are interested. Any Mason graduate student interested in and available to attend should complete the registration form. The first 50 people to complete the form will be entered into a lottery for the nine spaces on this trip; those students will be offered spaces and must submit required paperwork within three days of notification. Students will also be selected for additional waitlist spots in case spaces on the trip become available. 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.

Cancellation and Waitlist Policy: To accommodate as many interested Mason graduate students as possible, a waitlist will begin once a trip fills. If a registered student cancels their registration by 5:00pm on the Wednesday before the event, their space will be offered to the next student(s) on the waitlist. Any students canceling their registration with less than 72 hours notice will not be eligible to participate in future Graduate Outdoor Adventure trips during the 2026-27 year. There are limited spaces on this trip.

The form will open opens on Friday, September 11 and closes Tuesday, September 22, or when all 50 spots have been filled; whichever comes first!

If you need a disability-related accommodation for this event, please contact Graduate Student Life at gradlife@gmu.edu no less than 2 weeks prior to the event to guarantee accommodations.
