Itinerary:
We'll be climbing Plutonian Shores on Raven Crag (above Cave and Basin). There is a 30-45 min approach, 7 pitches of 5.7-5.9 sport climbing bolted anchors, and a walk-off descent. Participants must be competent at belaying a leader. While not required to lead, participants should be able to comfortably climb up to 5.9 outdoors and be on the move for 4-6 hours. A mix of relative beginners and more experienced participants are welcome to join. Please send a description of your experience level & abilities including relevant climbs you have been on in the past. Preference will be given to members who would be unable to lead this climb on their own. We will not be moving people on to the trip until June. The topo for the route is at the following link:

Required Items to Bring:
Climbing gear (can discuss in detail with selected participants), and a backpack you are comfortable climbing with. We won't be returning to the start of the climb, so everything you bring is coming up & over with us - choose wisely!

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.
