| Itinerary: |
|
The tentative plan is to leave Calgary Thursday (May 23rd) late afternoon/evening after work and spend the night at the Lake Louise hostel. Then get up early'ish, have a nice breakfast and head up to the Columbia Icefield via. the Athabasca Glacier and set-up camp Friday afternoon on the north side of the trench.
Saturday, if weather conditions permit, we'd start with a typical alpine start and track up Columbia.
Sunday, can be spent on a second attempt on Comubia (if Saturday's weather did not permit an attempt) or we would head back to Calgary and possibly run up the Snow Dome on the way out.

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.
