*** Upcoming trips
Paddling
* Kayak pool session will be held on Sunday 11/20 in the evening. This
  is the best and cleanest way to learn to roll.  There's still space,
  but e-mail Ari (ate2) ASAP. Bring $5 in exact change.
Climbing education
* Don (don@isc.astro.cornell.edu) will hold some seminars on
  self-rescue on Thursdays at 6:30PM. Each seminar will be somewhat
  independent of the others. Limited to 6 people.
Caving
* Mapping trip on Saturday: Contact Kara (klp37) if you are interested
  in mapping; you will need to have been caving before.
* Vertical trip on Sunday: Contact Simeon (simeon@cs.cornell.edu) if
  interested; open only to those who have had vertical training. There
  may be a horizontal option.
These two trips are actually sharing transportation, so depending on
the actual arrangements, it may or may not be possible to just go on
one day.
