| Itinerary: |
|
Leave Calgary very early in order to maximize daylight while on the
trail skiing. There may be a small rappel involved in order to gain
what should be a great protected North ski descent through the col
just to the west of Cirque Peak as described on Pg. 91 of Summits
and Icefields under "A Good Variation". We will require a very brief
car shuttle north in the morning so as to save us a slog along the
highway at the end of the day.

| Required Items to Bring: |

climbing harness, rappel device, two locking carabiners, two non

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.
