Course Content: A two-day course focused on learning to lead waterfall ice climbs. The curriculum will include hazard evaluation, movement technique, rest stances, ice screw placements, leading strategies, anchor construction, and auto-block belaying a second. All “leads” will be done as a mock-lead scenario on top-rope.
Prerequisite: Participants should have some ice climbing experience. The course is suitable for both never-ever leaders as well as climbers that are already started leading ice but desire refinement. Participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Equipment: Participants should have their own harness, helmet, belay device, boots, crampons (dual-points are best) and ice tools (leashless preferred). I can supply extra leashless ice tools to try. If you have your own rack of ice screws, quick draws and anchor gear then bring it; if not, I will have extra.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
Other obvious items to bring are warm clothes and a down jacket considering you will be sitting around listening to lecturing. Bring your own food for lunch and snacks and a warm/hot drink. It might not be a bad idea to bring a camera to take photo's and assist you in the future to look back at the various things you learned over the course of the day.

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. rescue techniques offered in the climbing gym if bad weather is encountered) 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.
