| Itinerary: |
This is a new 6 pitch 5.7 climb on Cascade. The
description can be found on gripped magazine's
website: http://gripped.com/news/wheat-
kings-is-new-seven-pitch-bolted-5-7-in-rockies
The climbing is quite easy and should be
friendly for beginners wanting to do their
first multipitch.
This trip is ROCK IT friendly, but the descent
is a rappel, so you must have attended our
rappelling info sessions and be comfortable
rappelling with supervision. I am happy to
provide a second set of eyes to double check
your set up, but I am not going to teach
rappelling 225m off the ground.
To have 4 followers, we will need at least 2
people who can provide a safe lead belay.
If you have not climbed with me or Tobias
before, please send me a list of any quick
resume of climbing you have done (including if
you have done a multi-pitch before). ROCK IT
people, please let me know what instruction
sessions you have attended and what climbing
you have done outside of the instructional
sessions.

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.
