Itinerary:
I've never been here before; the Rockies Obscure website ( http://rockiesobscure.com/white- buddha- tour/ ) seems to have a few short easyish trad and sport routes, plus bouldering. Maybe we can get a rope on something harder too? This will be a relaxed outing. You don't have to be able to lead, but should be able to give a safe belay. We might practice some simple rock rescue techniques, like escaping the system.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, rock shoes, belay device, anchor system, bouldering mat - if you're that way inclinded

Recommended Items to Bring:
Quick draws, trad rack, a rope if you have one and want to lead, water and snack, rain shell, warm jacket

Notes:
Dogs are welcome, but they should be leashed and not try to eat my sandwiches.

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.
