Lets get out this weekend and climb Pilot Mountain and perhaps also climb Mount Brett, if we have anough steam to do the extra 700 vertical meters.
Pilot Mountain is a prominent peak that we will approach from Red Earth Creek. I have not been up there, so we will work together on finding the best route from the fire road through the bush to get to the peak. Once we come down from Pilot to the upper valley, we can traverse over to Brett and get that one done as well. Our legs will feel this one for sure. Expect a long day out with some bush to get to treeline and good scrambling on rock with perhaps some snow thrown in to make it interesting.

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.
