Plan is to head into upper Evan Thomas Creek and do some multi-pitch climbing.
Primary objectives are Moonlight, Snowline and 2 Low 4 Zero, as these are popular routes this will be an early start.
We've got a 1 to 1.5 hours approach along the creek to reach Moonlight with a current forecast showing cold temperatures in the low minus 20's all day.

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.
