I should do a better sales job...
Do you really want to stay in Canada in October?
It is too cold to climb (rock), to warm to climb
(ice), too wet to scramble and to dry to ski. The
only thing to do is whine, and who wants to do
that?
Or, you could head out on an adventure with a big
chunk of the section executive, drink some cheap
rum, climb some classic rock and generally enjoy
the desert during its most pleasant time of year.
We have 4 committed so far. Target areas will
contain 5.6-5.10b trad for 3 of us and 5.10b+ trad
for Mark.
Plan in to leave the evening of October 11 for
somewhere in the US that satisfies the follow
conditions:
1) Best available weather
2) Classic rock
3) Cheap beer and camping
A destination will be decided last minute with
group input, and could change mid-trip. Likely
destination will be California, but we could head
as far east as Devil's Tower and as far north as
Smith Rocks.
We will return Sunday, October 20.

| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Only mandatory items are your Passport and
climbing partner. Climbing and camping gear would
also be good.
This trip is coordinated, not lead. Please try and
sign-up with your own climbing partner. This will
facilitate organizing camping and climbing gear
and will help ensure everyone has someone to climb
with. Climbing in as 3 is OK, but I much prefer
pairs.

|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
Spare change of underwear.

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.
