Itinerary:
Hopefully the ice should be getting into nice shape by this time so we'll be getting out for some Icefields parkway fun. We'll leave town on Friday night, stay at the hostel Friday and Saturday and head home on Sunday after climbing. Bring all your own food for breakfasts / lunches and we'll do a pot luck for Saturday night, details TBC. Beauty creek is pretty rustic and you will need a sleeping bag, probably winter weight in case you're on the bottom bunk. A few beginners are welcome, as long as you come with your own personal climbing gear, can belay and look after yourself in the backcountry - we'll take a view on this when we know who's coming along.
Required Items to Bring:
Ice tools, crampon, boots, helmet, headlamp, suitable clothes, hostel gear, food, booze and item for Saturday night pot-luck.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Ropes, screws, draws, anchors, sense of fun and adventure

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Head west and then turn north at Lake Louise. If you get to Jasper, you've gone too far  
Carpool Departure Time:   04:00 PM
Carpool Location:   Our Lady of Assumption school, off Highway 1
Carpool Directions:   Carpool will be confirmed nearer the time. Some people may head up early on the Friday.

Notes:
We could probably get more than the 9 spaces in the Hostel, so please register and we'll see how much interest there is.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!

We'll need to get us payment for the hostel up front to move you to the confirmed list. This is $26 pppn and is non-refundable if you drop out, unless we can find a replacement.
*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.
