| Itinerary: |

Grotto Mountain is a Canmore landmark and an
excellent early-season workout. With 1400m of
elevation gain good fitness and endurance will be
required. We will be moving at a moderate/fast
pace, with occasional stops.
We will choose the Northwest (ACC) or Direct route
depending on snow conditions. We may do the
traverse (going up on, down the other) if
conditions and time permit.
Departure is from Assumption School at 8:10am
sharp.

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.
