Participants: Novices and
Intermediates are welcome on this trip. This
trip is for people
who want to be competent & contributing members
of an alpine team. Maybe you have taken an
alpine related course, but haven't been out
much without a guide. Could be you haven't
alpine climbed for a few years and would like
to shake the rust off in a supportive
environment. Maybe you've already enjoyed
mountain activities like rock or ice climbing,
scrambling, or skiing and would like to step it
up and apply that to Alpine climbing.
The Plan:
Day 1: We'll head up a moderate
alpine climb like Boundary or Wilcox with the
trip leaders acting as rope leaders.
Day 2: We'll build the skills we saw
in day 1 either on another peak or dedicated
practice spot.
Prerequisites: Participants should
have some previous exposure to travelling in
roped terrain (glacier travel and/or rock/ice
climbing), and be able to competently belay a
leader.

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.
