Itinerary:
The cost for this event is $97. 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.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!

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.
