| Itinerary: |
|
We will park at the Cougar Creek parking lot and hike up the creek until we get to ridge, which is where the real fun begins. There are several water crossings along the trail, so please bring extra shoes for the water crossings.
This route requires efficient transitions between 3rd, 4th, and 5th class terrain with lots of short roping and exposed scrambling.
Participants must be fit and have prior experience leading and belaying on exposed 3rd, 4th, and 5th class terrain.
Preference will be given to those with short roping skills, emergency rescue skills, and previous alpine climbing or difficult scrambling experience.

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.
