Itinerary:
I am co-leading this trip with Lisa Hunka. We will plan to spend a long weekend climbing in the Kootenays! Expecting opportunities for all levels of climbing practice - we will look to build a group with a mix of abilities from beginner to advanced. Should be some opportunities for traditional climbing practice. The entire trip will likely run from the evening of July 20 (driving down) through the evening of July 23/24. Folks CAN join or leave at slightly different times. When you register, be sure to indicate which/for how many days you can join and we will look at coordinating carpools appropriately. Also please indicate if you have/need a tent and/or cooking gear.

Please indicate for which days you would like to attend.
*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.
