The Real Outdoor Climbing Knowledge Introductory
Training (ROCK IT) program is the Calgary
Section’s introduction to Rock Climbing program.
This is for all people new to rock climbing. No
previous experience in any climbing activity is
required; however, a certain amount of basic
fitness for the approaches (max 30min) and to
carry a backpack with gear to the crag would be
an advantage.
ROCK IT is not a training program for your
physical strength, but we will set you up with
the technical knowledge necessary to take part on
other Section trips posted on the trip schedule
throughout the summer like the weekly Rock Rage,
as well as other ACC day and weekend trips. The
ultimate goal of the program is to take
participants from the beginner level to self
sufficient climbers who can climb on their own
and be safe and competent climbing partners. All
of the sessions will be posted on the club
calendar, so keep an eye out for them.
This posting is for the First Session which will
be a orientation meeting in Calgary so we can
answer your questions, set expectations, talk
about what climbing gear you need as a minimum,
and what that gear is for. We also will talk
about the potential hazards of rock climbing and
what other general gear/clothing you will need to
enjoy this program and while you go out by
yourself or as part of other Section trips.
Please don`t buy your gear for this session, as
we might be able to give you some tips for buying
it and we might be able to tell you what you
actually need and what not. If you have already
gear, no problem, feel free to bring it.
*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.
