The White Buddha is a nice crag for a climbing day
in the early spring.The routes are south-
facing,mostly in the mid 5.10 range and are quite
short (10-12m). That,combined with a short drive
(just past Elbow Falls) and a pleasant approach
make this a nice area for early spring climbing.
Participants should be comfortable climbing
5.10a/b and belaying a lead and top-roped
climber.
We plan to be back in the city by between 6:30 pm and 7 pm.

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.
