Outdoor and Adventure Pursuits

Program Overview

Outdoor and Adventure Pursuits (or OAP, as we like to call ourselves) is your base camp for new adventures on-campus and locally to Pittsburgh. OAP provides you the ability to test new heights at our indoor climbing wall, prepare you for your next commute at our Bike Cave, and leading trips outdoors. Look below to discover all the ways you can get involved!

Pitt Bike Cave

The Bike Cave is your DIY, student-run bike shop. The Bike Cave provides you free access our tools to repair your bike, educational workshops, and local bike rides for all Pitt students, faculty, staff, and community members.
