Itinerary: |
The objective is Wasootch Peak which is classed
as an easy scramble with an elevation gain of
900m.
We'll meet at Our Lady of the Assumption at
5:30 pm and leave as quickly as possible for
the scramble.
The pace we'll be doing will be relaxed since
the destination is easier - we should be able
to do the objective in something in the region
of 3.5-5 hours.
You don't need to be super fit, or experienced,
this will be a friendly trip.
Headlamps and helmets are absolutely mandatory
- we'll be out after dark - you should
understand what that means and be comfortable
with the increased commitment level. If you
have any questions at all, just send me an
email.
We'll be getting back late - if you have a
strict bed time, this isn't for you.
These trips run on a principle of group
collaboration. Everyone is expected to be
involved in decision making and safety of the
party.
You will be expected to be an active
contributor. We do our best to keep party
members safe, and you should too.
Dogs are very welcome on the trip and K2 the
laziest Husky in the world will be coming.
Please check the objective to be sure that your
dog is up for the evening and email us with any
questions or concerns.

Notes: |
Given the amount the snow that is forecast for
this weekend it would be advisable to wear boots
rather than approach shoes as we imagine we will
be trudging through snow.

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.
