The Pocatello Pump is a climbing competition that takes place at Ross Park on Saturday, September 12th! Climbers can sign up for beginner to advanced categories and may even choose to compete in the non-competitive category.

We are sad to announce the passing of a student, Scott Robbins.

Scott took Outdoor Education classes and participated in Outdoor Adventure Center trips and activities. He also volunteered at our Avalanche Awareness night and provided avalanche education to the community.

Scott was energetic, adventurous, and made friends with everyone in the classes and trips he was a part of. One of our favorite adventures with him was floating the Owyhee River where he kept the group entertained and excited about the adventure.

Scott passed while on a private kayaking trip earlier this month. Our thoughts are with Scott's friends and family.

Pictures are from adventures that we were lucky enough to share with Scott. If you have any pictures or memories to share of Scott on OAC trips or classes, please put them in the comments!
