| Itinerary: |
|
Hike in Bivy, next day climb the West Ridge. Please dont complain
and moan that we are not doing the North Face, or some other
route. We are going to climb the West Ridge.
The Route is mostly 4th class, on crappy and lose rock. The rock
ranks up there with some of the worst in the Rockies.
The descent is often considered the crux.
The Bivy will be the standard Bivy described at past Burstall Pass.

| Notes: |
|
If you sign up, please send me a list of alpine climbs that you
have done and a lit that indicates your experience level. If there
is a lot of interest, I will increase the numbers as long as there is
someone who is keen to lead a second rope team. We will
primarily be doing alpine short roping on this route and not just
moving together roping together.

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.
