Thanks to the generous contribution of Chas Yonge, there are a number of new 2- to 3-pitch sport climbs on the left end of Kid Goat ranging from 5.8-5.10dA1. I tried Blue Bubble last weekend, which had a really fun third pitch, and am keen to try two or three of the others. You can find the topo here. You should be climbing low 5.10 at least.
I'd prefer to take one partner on my rope, but if someone else signs up who can lead and bring their own gear(no time to pick up club ropes), then we could get two parties out for this exploration. Being on short notice and not having time to screen, I'll lean towards selecting people whom I already know, but I'd rather get out than not!
My main requirements are that you have experience lead belaying safely, and can usually cleanly follow/top-rope 5.10a on rock. Multi-pitch experience would be an asset. Please notify me of your experience when you sign up.

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.
