Ice climbing is the best, let's go ice
climbing! Hopefully there will be ice for us
to
climb.
We'll head out Friday night to stay at Rampart
Creek hostel. Then out for whatever ice climbs
in
the area are appealing. We might climb as a
group, or we might break up to climb separately
for the day & meet up back at the hostel. We'll
come up with a plan the week before the trip
when
we know what conditions are and who is joining
the trip.
Some options I'd be keen to check out include
Balfour wall, Meltout, Bison Falls, Tangle
Falls,
or Wet Dream.
Being able to lead ice isn't a requirement,
but anyone joining this trip should have at
least
some previous ice climbing experience, be able
to
offer a safe lead belay on single or double
ropes, and be willing & able to participate in
group safety decisions.
I've already booked 6 spots at the hostel,
which
will be $27/person/night for the weekend.
The hostel provides bedding, so no
need
to bring your own.
If you are interested to join the
trip,
please send me an email with the following
information:
1) Your current ice climbing ability
(what
grades do you comfortably lead or second).
2) What routes you are interested to
climb
on the parkway?
3) Are you willing to lead a rope team,
and
if so, what specific climb or grade would you
lead?

Ice climbing stuff, potluck dinner contribution

This is not a first come first on trip,
participants will be selected to ensure the
team
has the capability to function safely and have
a
good time. A variety of skill levels is
welcome
on the trip. Position on the waitlist does not
have an impact on whether you get on the trip.
*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.
