Itinerary: |
Let's see if we can make our way to the Cory Pass and not have to tromp through too much snow in getting to the pass.
We will leave our carpool location nice and early at 6:15 am and hope to start our trip from Fireside Picnic Area at 8:00 am towards Cory Pass, enjoying the south-facing slope.
As we will most likely encounter snow at this time of year, we need to be comfortable moving in snow covered terrain and have skills in using our ice axe in moderately steep terrain higher up on the mountain.
I will check out the conditions on the mountain shortly before the trip and advise everyone what we can expect. Should conditions suggest, we will chose an alternative climb that day.
This will be a long day with 915 vertical meters to be gained (steep uphill), so a good level of fitness is a prerequisite.
|
Required Items to Bring: |
Helmet, Ice Axe, sturdy scrambling boots, gaiters, Sun goggles, sun screen, late season layered clothing plus with warm gloves and tuque, as it can be quite cold up high. Mobile and personal first aid kit are also good ideas.
|
|
Recommended Items to Bring: |
Bring enough food and drink for a long hard day out. Hot drink are recommended in the winter.

*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.
