Itinerary:
Let's save those skis from core shots and let that ice get a little fatter, too. Instead, let's spend Sunday at everyone's favorite drytooling crag, The Playground! You don't really need to be super strong at drydooling - I (and others) can put up ropes if needed. You do need to be able to offer a top rope belay and clean routes the same way you would rock climbing, though.
Required Items to Bring:
Mountain Boots, Crampons (ideally mono's), Harness, Helmet, Belay Device, Personal Anchor, Food, Water, Clothes, AND AN INSATIABLE THIRST FOR GNARRR!!!

Recommended Items to Bring:
Tools (Madern leashless w/ T rated picks - could borrow from me or another member if required). Ice clippers. If you have them, bring a set of sport draws/rope/tarp to the carpool/parking lot so we can decide what to bring.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   We'll park at the Rat's Nest Cave parking lot along the 1A just east of Canmore.  
Carpool Departure Time:   09:30 AM
Carpool Location:   Our Lady of the Assumption School Parking Lot
Carpool Directions:   From Calgary, head West on HWY1, take the exit for Sarcee Tr NW / 34 Ave N. Briefly drive west on 34 Ave N until turning left into the Lady of The Assumption Parking Lot. https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0840557,-114.191 0413,17.25z

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.
