Itinerary:
It had been my custom to scramble up a mountain before the big feast on the 24th and thus I am offering to lead a winter scramble for the club on that day. We will have to see what the snow and weather conditions are before we determine which mountain gets climbed. The range of peaks available are numerous and if snow conditions allow, we could tramp up the Opal Ridge or do the Yam Traverse. If it is really rotten out there we would simply hike up Cox Hill or head up Heart Mountain. Even Lady Mac or Ha Ling peak could be easily done if the conditions are right. If there is a big group, it will be easier to break trail. I will be coming back from Europe on the 21st and will determine conditions for our trip on the 23rd and let everyone know about the objective
Required Items to Bring:
Warm and layered clothing, extra gloves and toque ice axe and crampons for icy sections thermos with warm drink enough to eat for a 5 hour trip gaitors and ski pole potentailly a helmet, dependent on objective

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   08:00 AM

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.
