Drydooling season is upon us, and ice will be
here before we know it! The Canmore Bouldering
Cave is the only gym in the area that allows
you to use you outdoor ice tools on the
bouldering walls. You may be able to dangle
from dry ice tools at certain gyms, but there's
really no substitute for your actual ice tools
in hand! With all sorts of roof problems, and
overhanging bouldering walls, this place is the
perfect venue for working on the strength and
techniques that you'll need to send you
projects this winter. In particular, if you've
wanted to practice some of the more advanced
movements of the horizontal m-climbing world,
like figure 4's and 9's, this gym provides
close-to-ground features (with a padded floor)
that make for the perfect place to practice
this skill safely. Some additional perks are
that you are free to set you own routes here
(or just add a bolt or hold for a particular
training exercise), and you can plug you
phone/mp3 player into the stereo and listen to
your own music! It's a rock climbing bouldering
gym, too, so if that's more your style, do
that!

| Notes: |
|
You'll need to sign a waiver and pay admission
before climbing. Either (or both) can
(preferably) be done on the website (http://www.canmoreboulderingcave.com/d
rop-in.html) or you can pay in person at
the gym, and sign a paper waiver there too. If
you decide to pay at the gym, I would recommend
having exact change as there's no telling if
the right change will be in the cash box when
we arrive. The drop-in admission fee is $10 on
Wednesdays. All other days is $15.This is a
community-run venue, and there is no permanent
staff. I'm a member and will try my best to
provide help with the payment, waiver, etc if
anyone needs it.

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
