Itinerary:
Since a lot of people have been showing up to the plastic pull fest at the Crux in the name of training for ice climbing, I thought it would be nice to organize an event that gets everyone out onto real ice. Preference give to those who have climbed at the ice training nights at the crux and trip leaders willing to climb with excited new members. I have booked 12 spots at Mosquito Creek ($20 per person) for Saturday night, more spots can be booked if there is higher demand. Will drive out from Calgary on Saturday as 3 independent groups, meet for a stone soup style dinner at Mosquito Creek followed by more climbing on Sunday.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, crampons, jacket, lunches, warm clothes, sleeping bag and other hostel stuff, all personal items and dinner ingredient (to be assigned).

Recommended Items to Bring:
Screws, draws, rope, screamers, etc

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Drive west into mountains, take first right afetr Lake Lousie and drive north  
Carpool Departure Time:   06:10 AM
Carpool Location:   George Gell Park

Notes:
I'm going to procrastinate organizing this trip until about 2 to 3 weeks beforehand.
