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
Gen at gen1kenny@gmail.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

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.
