Objective will be Anorexia Nervosa and Wethering
Heights in the South Ghost. This is the first time
for me heading into the Ghost this winter so
all participants should be mentally prepared that
it may be an adventure
getting in there. (South Ghost is usually much
friendlier).
The early meetup time for the carpool is to give
us sufficient time to navigate, and to be able to
climb both objectives in one day.
Must be able to at least follow WI4, must be able
to lead belay, Must have multi pitch experience.
Preference will be given to those that can lead
WI 3+/4, but is NOT a requirement.

harness, several pairs of gloves (for belaying and
for climbing), crampons for waterfall ice, belay

*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.
