| Itinerary: |
|
Meet at the Tunnel Mountain Campground at 8, or
at the trailhead at 8:30.
We will be setting up a toprope on the main
falls, as well as climbing the easier stuff in
the basin. Because top-roping the main falls is
more logistically challenging, we will keep the
limit of 6.
If you would like to lead, please bring your
own screws and draws. It is easy to get ropes
up, so it is ok if you want to lead or just
want to top rope. If you want to climb the main
falls you MUST be able to climb grade 5, as
that is typically the only way out of there.
There is often open water at the bottom.

available.

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.
