Please send me a detailed climbing resume as to what past experiences on alpine terrain is. If I do not recieve such notification, you will remain on the waiting list.
Participants must not be expected to get their ass hauled up something, participants are expected to do some leading (to their ability) and break trail. This is a team outing.
This trip will go if the weather looks promising, if it just isn't there it will not go.
Participants must be comfortable on steep alpine snow/ice, and it may involve the use of running belays.

*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.
