If weather and conditions permit, we'll climb
Mother's Day Buttress on Cascade. If the climb is
not in condition (it's still May after all), we'll
head to a crag or other dry objective. There is a
3rd class scrambling approach, 8 pitches of 5.6
trad climbing, and a descent that is mostly a
trail but includes some short sections of 3rd
class down-climbing and a rappel.
Participants must be competent and experienced
belaying a leader. While not required to lead,
participants should have some experience in
seconding and cleaning trad routes, and be able to
comfortably climb up to 5.7 outdoors.
If I haven't climbed with you recently, please
send a description of relevant climbs you have
been on in the past.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, comfortable climbing shoes, light
backpack you can climb with, food and water for
the day, warm clothing, approach shoes, belay
device, personal prussiks.
We won't be returning to the base of the climb, so
everything you bring will have to be carried for
the entire climb.
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.
Trip Feedback If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
