This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine
Mentorship)
program organized by the ACC Calgary Alpine
Chair jointly
with ACMG Guide Brent Peters. For level 1
participants the
expectation is that you are not new to ice
climbing. You have
been on ice a handful of times and can follow
WI3. The goal
of this event is to teach you the correct ice
climbing
technique. Yes there is a technique to this! At
the end of the
course you should feel comfortable moving on
ice, finding
rest positions, avoiding pump and fully enjoying
your ice
time. And more importantly look like you know
what you are
doing.
To sign up for this event, please add yourself
to the waiting
list and email Luis Salgado
(luchohernan@hotmail.com) your
previous experience. Once you are approved,
please send
the payment to treasurer@acccalgary.ca and email
Luis the
confirmation. You will then be moved to the
participating list.
If you have any questions please feel free to
contact Luis at
403-437-4053 or to luchohernan@hotmail.com

Your payment
method is as follows:
1. Send an INTERAC e-Transfer to the ACC
Treasurer using the
Treasurer@ACCCalgary.ca email address. Do NOT
forget to let the Treasurer know your name,
email
and the course it is for! Plus advise the e-
transfer password
in a separate
email. Also email confirmation to the Course
Coordinator (luchohernan@hotmail.com). They will
then move
you to the attending list.
|
|
Once payment has been received by the treasurer
you will be
moved to the confirmed list. There will be no
refund for
cancellations.
Courses will run regardless of weather unless
the guide
deems conditions unsafe then a back-up option
may be
executed. This is to be decided by the guide the
evening
before.
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.
