Due to conditions in Kananaskis and a failed attempt by a party of
Kananaskis Peak a week ago. I have decided to head south to the
Castle wilderness and attempt Roche and Yarrow. Both of these
Peaks are in Andrew Nugara's scrambling guide. Bob Spirko has done
these peaks:

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.
