Itinerary:
This day will be spent practicing the skills needed to be a great second on ice; safe belaying, cleaning ice screws, anchors, rappelling, rope handling, etc. We'll still get in a bunch of laps climbing on the ice, but the focus of the day will be in developing all the skills needed to be a contributing member of an ice climbing team. Participants are not required to lead.
Required Items to Bring:
Crampons, ice tools, helmet, harness, belay device, ice screw-clippers, personal tether & prussiks, lots of warm clothes, several pairs of gloves/mittens, a backpack you can climb with, and anything else you normally use ice climbing.

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.
