Lets have some fun this weekend, enjoy the
forecast sunshine and get outdoors to stretch the
legs on a late season scramble. Took a look at
Heart mountain today and there is only skiff of
snow, so the traverse should be in great
condition.
We will meet up for car pooling at the bins on the
south side of the Transcanada Hwy. on Saturday
morning at 8:00 am and 45 minutes of driving will
deliver us to the trailhead before 9:00 am. The
traverse should take about 4 - 5 hours at a
moderate pace, although we can spend some time
relaxing and taking in the views from the top. To
add to the excitement, the trail up allows for a
few variations and if in good condition and we
feel like it, we can do a bit of fun scrambling
over some steeper slabs or take the easier way
alongside.
This is a great time to get out in the front
ranges before the skiing or ice climbing kicks
into gear, so lets have a good day out together.

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.
