Itinerary:
Weather looks good Sunday so the plan is to climb 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. Note I've not climbed this route but am comfortable leading this grade. If I haven't climbed with you before please send a description of your climbing experience & abilities including recent multi-pitch climbs. The topo for the route is:

Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, shoes, belay device, personal sling.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Personal stuff (e.g. jacket, water, food, headlamp, sunscreen, backpack you can climb with). We don't return to the start of the climb so everything you bring is coming up & over - pack wisely!

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   07:00 AM
Carpool Location:   Lady of Assumption School - 7311 34 Ave NW
Carpool Directions:   We'll leave the carpool at 7AM so arrive a few minutes before.

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.
