Itinerary:
Wasootch Peak is listed in Nugara's "More Scrambles", page 189. The hike starts on Highway 40, just around the corner from Wasootch Peak. Elevation gain 900 meters, distance 2 km, making a pretty steep climb, so our hiking pace will be "easy and relaxed". That means we'll get up there, but don't be in a hurry to get back down. The mountain has a second peak, which we might visit if time and group consensus allows.
Required Items to Bring:
Water and lunch. Sunscreen. Dress for the weather. You'll need boots and helmet for the scree slope.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Camera, ski-poles.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   The hike starts on Highway 40, just around the corner from Wasootch Peak. We'll park on the grass beside highway.

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.
