Itinerary:
Skill Session Tuesdays!! ROPE ASCENSION AND SINGLE PERSON REPEL SYSTEMS. Come out and practice rope rescue skills as the Ice climbing season fast approaches. I will be focusing on a given topic once a month. See agenda below but you are welcome to participate with other skills you would like to practice/share outside the topic of the month. Beginners are more than welcome but it will be most effective if you are able to do a few minutes of research pre meeting. Note that this is a peer to peer sharing session only and is NOT a course. AGENDA is as follows: Nov 29: Escaping Belay/Anchors Dec 13: Getting to the climber (Rope Ascending, repel systems) Jan 3: Moving a Climber (hauling, repels) Jan 31: Scenario 1 (Decision Making pre and post incident/respond) Feb/March/April: TBA
Required Items to Bring:
Bring everything you need to practice (minus ice screws, ice axes, crampons) and dress warm!! You will need a headlamp, locking biners, harnesses, belay device, personal anchor, prussic, anchor, and a few draws. I will have prussic cords if you need one or want to try other types.

Recommended Items to Bring:
I will have enough ropes (3 singles and two doubles). If anyone has lanterns, that would be great.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   This session will be held with help of trees on 25a street SW just north of the playground.  

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.
