| Itinerary: |
|
We will be camping at the Castle Junction campground on Hwy. 1A near the Hwy. 93S turn-off. We will meet and discuss the following day, and review crevasse rescue. Being here Monday evening is not optional. We will approach the route in the dark, rope up for the glacier and bergschrund crossing. The ideal participant will be comfortable unroped on the face to allow for efficient climbing. Any icy sections will be protected and pitched out. The descent is somewhat involved, requiring a few steep rappels and downclimbing down a gully. 1600m+ elevation gain - You are required to be in good physical fitness and have endurance. One long alpine day with the forecast and conditions looking very good.

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.
