| Itinerary: |
|
Join in for a steady relaxed pace up a beautiful ridge walk for
approximately 6 kms (return) with vistas for the entire day.
This is a moderate/easy scramble with the most difficult part being
the 1000 metres of elevation gain - so you will have to have some
reasonable fitness level and some experience on lose rock. Not for
the first time scrambler but certainly something for those wanting
to get into doing more scrambles. I encourage Newbies to sign up
on the wait list.
Bring your enthusiasm and positive attitude.
Once you have provided some of your scrambling experience in a
separate email to me I will make my selection from the wait list the
Wednesday before the date of the trip.
We will drive to Fortress Gas station up Hwy 40 about 115 kms from
Calgary. The expected duration of the scramble will be anywhere
between 5 to 7 hours. Don't make plans for the evening since this
is an all day event.

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.
