The Colorado Collective Outdoor Journal expands the definition of outdoor storytelling.

We aim to be a radically more inclusive version of our predecessor, The CC Alpine Journal – a former climbing, alpine ascent-focused campus publication. CCOJ hopes to harness the energy of our historical climbing and mountaineering community but to take the stoke to a new, more open place.

Here, the word “adventurer” is meant to encompass a wide breadth of students, alumni, athletes, activists and more. The CCOJ is for casual evening strollers, backyard botanists, ski fanatics, and more – from novice to expert. It is a publication for anyone who loves being outside.
