| Itinerary: |
|
Attempt of Woolley and Diadem which are located
just north of the Columbia Icefields (grade II x
2). Plan would be to drive up to the Icefields
after work on Friday or very early Saturday
morning and hike into the bivy site (will need
back-country wilderness pass). Make attempt at
both peaks on Sunday and drive home that day. I
have not been up either, so this trip is not
beginner friendly.
Weather may change location to destination decided
to by popular vote.

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.
