Itinerary:
The idea is to meet in the South of the city on early Saturday morning and drive to Waterton Lakes National Park in order to start climbing around 9 am. We will camp, and climb the second day, and then return to Calgary in the evening. We will spend a day in the Quick and Dirty Area, and the other day will depend on conditions and climbers/leaders abilities. Few days before the trip, we will call the Park to confirm conditions. If conditions are not favourable, our PLAN B is to climb in The Ghost or the Dry Range (near Ya Ha Tinda ranch). Camping: Pass Creek picnic site, located on the park's Entrance Parkway, about four kilometers from the entrance gate, offers a sheltered winter campground, FREE OF CHARGE!. Food: Vimy's Lounge and Grill is open year round and the idea is to eat there on Sat evening. You should bring your lunches for both days and breakfast for Sunday morning. Please note THIS IS NOT A GUIDED TRIP, and it may include multi-pitch ice climbing in a remote location. We are open to add a couple of spots if other ice climbing leaders sign up.

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.
