Outdoor and Adventure Pursuits

Outdoor and Adventure Pursuits (or OAP, as we like to call ourselves) is your gateway to exploration, recreation, and skill-building at Pitt and throughout the Pittsburgh region. Whether you're challenging yourself on our indoor climbing wall, getting your bike trail or commuter ready at the Bike Cave, joining one of our guided outdoor adventure trips, or renting equipment from the Outdoor Rental Center, OAP provides the resources and support to help you discover new experiences with confidence. No matter your skill level, there’s an adventure waiting for you. To learn more or connect with our team, contact us at  pittoap@pitt.edu
