Itinerary:
Skill Session Tuesdays!! Come out and practice rope rescue skills applicable to all types of climbing. I am slotting this in as an extra review session and will focus on the big picture of how to respond to an incident. Understanding how to put all skills together before heading out to yam next session. Beginners are more than welcome but it will be most effective if you are able to do a few minutes of research pre meeting. (Escaping belays, hauling techniques, and rope Ascension, tans and counter balance raps, and how to transition between them)
Required Items to Bring:
Bring everything you need to practice!! You will need locking and non 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:
Could you please bring a lantern if you have one!

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Due to the size we will be holding this in a park in Silver Springs. Google 'Silver Springs Baseball Diamond #18' we will be on the West side of the park between Silverdale Dr and Silverview Way.  

Notes:
Note that this is a peer to peer sharing session only and is NOT a course. It is also open to the public and participation numbers will be larger than what is listed in this event. AGENDA is as follows: Nov 29: Escaping Belay/Anchors Dec 13: Getting to the climber(rope ascension/rappel). Jan 3: Moving a Climber (hauling, two person raps, lowering). Jan 31: review of all skills and putting it all together. March: Scenario 1 May : Scenario 2

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.
