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.
