Itinerary:
**Date Change!** Originally posted for Tuesday, it's now Wednesday. Looking to get out of the gym and start climbing at the crags? Interested in learning how to be a good seconder climbing? Being a good leader is tough, but being a good seconder isn't a cake walk either - there's more to it than climbing that route on top rope. In this training session we'll go over: How to lead belay How to clean a route littered with draws How to clean an anchor and get back down to safety without dropping yourself If weather is good we'll go to Sunshine and get on some real rock. If the weather sucks, an email will go out with an alternate destination.
Required Items to Bring:
Harness, belay device, helmet, climbing shoes, some sort of redundant personal anchor.

Recommended Items to Bring:
biners, draws, rope, any random gear you feel like bringing

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   05:15 PM
Carpool Location:   Our Lady of the Assumption School

Notes:
** This course will be building on prior participant knowledge of tying in and top rope belaying. You need to be comfortable with these skills, as they will not be taught during the session. **

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.
