We'll be climbing Mother's Day Buttress on
Cascade. It's a popular climb, so we'll be
trying to get an early start. There is a 3rd class scrambling approach, 8 pitches of 5.4-5.6 trad climbing (bolted stations), and a descent
that is mostly a trail but includes some short
sections of 3rd class down-climbing and a
rappel.
Participants must be competent and experienced
belaying a leader. Multi-pitch or trad
experience are not necessarily required. It is
not required that participants lead, but we can
share leading if team members are keen to do
so.
If I haven't climbed with you recently, please
send a description of relevant climbing
experience.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, comfortable climbing shoes,
light backpack you can climb with, food and
water for the day, warm clothing, approach
shoes, belay device, personal prussiks &
tether.
We won't be returning to the base of the climb,
so everything you bring will have to be carried
for the entire climb.
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.
