Itinerary:
Mt Ishbel is the prominent flatiron peak with the 8 km long south ridge, just south of Castle in Banff. The ridge should be relatively easy climbing-wise but is 5th class and is exposed. It will likely entail short roping and you must know how to rappel for the descent. There may also be some snow on the descent. Expect a fairly long day with over 5000' elevation. We return via Ranger creek.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet; harness; a couple each of slings & biners; wind/rain shell; gaiters; hiking pole and/or alpine axe; food and water; Park pass.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Camera, map/GPS, advil/ibuprofen, 1st aid kit, bear spray, more food and water.

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.
