Things to refresh on before the session could include: - Escaping a belay - Ascending and Descending - Releasable knots - particularly munter mule overhand - mechanical advantage pulley systems
Required Items to Bring:
Harness, few non locking biners, 2 locking biners, belay device, prussiks you normally use for glacier travel. Cordillete.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Tiblock or ascender if you use them.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
