Susan
Susan Gunter, co-owner of Exkursion Outfitters, not only manages many
aspects of the store (keeping the employees smiling, among many other things),
but also teaches Kindergarten through Second Grade at the PA Virtual Charter School.
She is a veteran rock climber, an experienced paddler, and a
mean tennis player.

Nate
Nate is something else, let me tell you. Well, maybe I won't tell you just now.
OK, he climbs, kayaks, pedals the mean streets of Penn Circle, and carouses with
the ladies to hilarious results.

Jesse
Legs and lungs, you can't stop this guy. Quiet, unassuming, friendly, all covers
up the outdoors beast within. Mountaineering, trad climbing, off and on piste skiing,
flatwater kayaking, mountain biking. You name it, he can do it. |
George
Jorge is most popular with the kayaking crowd at Exkursion. He is the handsome gentleman
found instructing many of our paddling classes. You won't see George ringing you up
in the store, but as an ACA certified kayak instructor and a doctor as well, we appreciate
his skills both on and off the water. |
Shingo
Sometimes there's a man...and I'm talkin about Shingo here...Sometimes there's a
man, and well, he's the man for his place and time.
|
Speedy
Quiet and friendly, He enjoys Russian novelists, Backpacking through Europe, and smooth jazz. All in all, not the type of
guy you want to run into in a dark alley. Just kidding. As a seasoned
veteran of the Pitt Outdoors Club, Speedy has vast experience with all things
we love: climbing, hiking, kayaking (and sometimes swimming!), and even how
to deep-fry a turkey! |
Eric
Allow us to reintroduce a returning member of the Exkursion staff... Eric Hull. You may also know
him as "Kids in the 'Hull'". Eric was brainwashed by a cult from Mississippi and left Exkursion
for some time. While he was sitting somewhere on the banks of the river, fishing with a cane pole,
A rock fell, seemingly, from nowhere and hit Eric on the head. Eric awoke from his brainwashing
and realized that Exkursion was his home, and climbing his life, and soon headed home. Welcome back
Eric

Chris
The koziest fellow you're likely to meet, Chris lives for the white powder. Downhill,
telemark, backcountry, he's the man. Not to be underestimated, Chris knows his stuff
when it comes to rocks, ice, rivers, and the best places to lose yourself above the treeline
in Colorado. |

Phil
It is time for us to address the rumors... Phil has indeed ventured westward, the way of the
wagon trains of yore. He is now the office manager for the Colorado Mountain School in Estes
Park. (The guide service for RMNP) We miss Phil and April tremendously and we can't wait
to go enjoy a night's bivy on their floor and having Phil gun up Kiener's. |
Laura
Once a sport climber, Laura has recently seen the light that is hardcore
trad climbing. "Mrs. S" will soon be entering the rank and file of married
life and we all wish her the best! She is taking her love of the outdoors
to her day job as an English teacher by starting an outdoors program at school. Go Rams!!
