teach you the correct ice climbing technique. Yes there is a

Notes:
Sebastian was born in Romania. After finishing a college
degree in Social Science and building his climbing skills,
Sebastian spent several years travelling and climbing in
Europe, South America and across Canada. n 2014 Sebastian came to the Rockies for a month of ice climbing
and the following year moved to Canmore altogether. More
and more time was spent climbing all throughout the year,
and in 2016 Sebastian entered the Guiding career by taking
his first course with the ACMG. He was certified Apprentice
Alpine Guide in 2018. Sebastian prefers to spend all his
available time ice, alpine and multipitch climbing, a task that
became a bit harder since he became a new and happy Dad
in 2017.
Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Once payment has been received by the treasurer
you will be
moved to the confirmed list. There will be no
refund for
cancellations.
Courses will run regardless of weather unless
the guide
deems conditions unsafe then a back-up option
may be
executed. This is to be decided by the guide the
evening
before.
*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.
