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 is 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 22nd and
will determine conditions for our trip on the 23rd
and let everyone know about the objective

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.
