The plan is to do the traverse in four days. We
will start at
Bombi Summit, and exit at Porto Rice Rd near Ymir,
staying at
the Grassy Mountain Hut, Steed Hut, and finally
the Copper
Mountain Hut on the way. The total distance is
approximately 45
km with 2500m elevation gain, and 2800m elevation
loss.

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.
