Itinerary: |
Sarah is taking you out to King Creek for the day
to learn the basics of Ice
Climbing and Ice Leading. This course is set up to
replace a cancelled Intro to ice and to give the
chance to those that have already passed the
beginner stage to try lead some ice.
The rope teams will be made depending on each
individual's goals. There will be lots of time to
practice climbing and improving technique under
Sarah's expert eye.
The course will be taught by Sarah Hueniken, a
full ACMG Alpine Guide. (See Sarah's brief Bio
below)
This trip will be a first-come-first-serve and
this is based on who can deliver their $115

options are as follows: mail a cheque out to the
attention of "Alpine Club of Canada - Calgary
Section" to the address I will email you once a
few have registered.. Or send an INTERAC e-
Transfer to the ACC Treasurer using the
