Dig the climbing gear out from behind the
skis and come on out to begin tuning your body and
to reconnect with other climbers!
For those new to how I coordinate my climbing
nights... throughout the night we make sure and
mix it up so you get a chance to climb with
someone more experienced than yourself to learn a
few new tricks! We've got a great group of
climbers of all levels and always have lots
of fun - you're sure to be pleasantly tired-out
and covered in chalk but smiling from ear to ear
by the time the night is done!
If you've never done a belay test before,
please see the section titled
Belay Test below.
If you don't know me, I'll be wearing a blue
bandana. If you can't
find me, try looking up on a wall! Can't miss me ;

If there are 10 or more participants (not
including me), it will only cost $10 each.
Otherwise, it will cost $13 each, which is still
discounted from the standard day pass of $16.
Belay Test
In order to gain entry to the gym, you need to
pass a belay test. It requires technical knowledge
of climbing basics. It is a TEST of your grasp of
this knowledge and is not something that you can
fake, "wing", or hope for the best on if you have
never climbed or have not climbed in a long time:
you will not pass and the owners will not allow
you to use the facility. Please note that club
members are unable (not permitted) to provide
instruction. The solution - if you are new
to climbing or need a refresher - is to first go
to any gym in the city and they can provide a
basic lesson to get you started. Feel free to join
us after you've made this initial step!
If you do know how to tie in and belay, but
you've never been to this gym before, you must be
able to pass the belay test without help
you can do this at the beginning of the evening.
You may want to show up a half hour early to get
this out of the way to ensure maximum fun time.

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.
