Be safe, watch out for one another, Your

dependant on the trip you choose to participate in
Trip Leaders:
Please bring your GMRS radios out for this event.
The channel for this event is 16-0
radio contact to start at night-fall (17:00hrs)
Check-points every half hour.
This is relatively new practice for this event so
lets try it out and see how it goes. The goal is to have every team communicate with one another so that we know if we need to start worrying about a rope teams out there. Rescues are never something that we look forward to but in the
event that a rope team needs help, the faster we can get it to them the better.
For those of you who wish to bring under-aged
members out for the weekend -you will need to sign
a special waiver for the under-aged participant
and the guardian that signs the waiver will have
to be in the company of the participant for the
period of time that the under-aged participant is
involved in the trip. We are happy to have ACC
members of ALL AGES attend these events but the
nature of winter camping, ice climbing, and the
remote nature of this event make it important that
the under-aged participant be in the company of a
parent or guardian all all times.

event - come prepared -

Please withdraw from the event if you find you are
unable to attend. We will be basing our food
purchase on the numbers of people signed up here.
*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.
