How to suck less and be more better at…. is
a monthly series designed to help facilitate
ongoing peer learning. Speakers are volunteers
who feel somewhat knowledgeable and are willing
to help others achieve basic knowledge in an
area- they are by no means experts, and may in
fact not be the most knowledgeable person in
attendance. The goal is to help improve the
knowledge and skill level of all members who
participate on mountain trips through regular
skill updates. DIscussion and participant input
is welcomed during sessions.
If you climb for long enough, you will get
some sort of injury. Come and discuss injury
prevention and treatment with other members.
The club library has an excellent new book "Make or Break: Don't let climbing injuries
dictate
you success" by Dave MacLeod. Mark will
highlight some of its contents.

| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |
|
Go to the Louise Riley Library. The Program Bulding
is the one on the North side of the parking lot. Do
not be deterred by the "No Parking" signs, those
are for park-and-riders.

|
| Notes: |
|
** The ‘How to suck less and be more better at’
series is put on by
volunteers, who are by no means experts or
guides, just people
who are willing to share some knowledge in an
area. Discussion
and participant input is welcomed.

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.
