Sport climbing leaders (leading with bolts) of all abilities will also find this course valuable in making the transition from bolts to traditional protection. The curriculum would include: crack climbing techniques, gear placements, anchor construction and leading strategies.
Day 1 - June 5 (Sunday) - $110
Day 2 - June 12 (Sunday) - $110
TOTAL Cost is $220

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy:
Courses are offered at a discounted rate based on a 1:6 ration of instructor to student (40% discount from standard rates). Due to the popularity of these clinics, full payment must be received to book your spot. There will be no refund for cancellations. Courses will run regardless of weather unless the guide deems conditions unsafe then either a back-up option will be executed (i.e. rock rescue in the climbing gym if torrential rain) or an appropriate date will be rescheduled. 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.
