Itinerary:
Meet at Our Lady of Assumption School @ 6:20 to sign waivers and carpool, if required. Carpool leaves @ 06:30 with arrival at Marble Canyon @ 08:30. Approach is approximately ten minutes. Climbing options include a steep WI5 and mixed in the M 6-8 range. Top rope or lead, depending on skill level of group. We will be back to Calgary around 6:00 PM. There are limited ice lines in the canyon, so I would like to get an early start to beat the rush. If all lines are taken, we may have to go to Haffner Creek instead. You must have the strength & endurance to climb back out of the canyon, as we have to rappel in to start the climb.
Required Items to Bring:
Ice tools, crampons (dual or mono), climbing boots, belay jacket, climbing gloves, belay gloves, harness, helmet, personal anchor, belay device, 2 locking carabiners, water, food, warm clothing, gas money.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Hot drinks, trekking poles, extra gloves, gaiters.
