Itinerary:
Interested in carabiners? Why do they come in so many shapes and sizes, and with so many different types of gates? How strong are they and what is a KiloNewton? How about locking mechanisms? How do we choose and use the different types? And how about quickdraws? What length is appropriate? How can you make your own, shorten and rack them? And what's the story on shock absorbing 'draws? Come to this workshop and learn from your fellow climbers and techno-geeks. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Doors open at 7:00 PM; social time to 7:20; 'biner and 'draw action 'til 9:00 PM.
Recommended Items to Bring:
One or two of each different type of 'biner and 'draw that you own, especially those that show history. A used shock absorber(screamer)would be great. Your enthusiasm and stories.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
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.
