Itinerary:

Participants: Anyone looking to practice/learn snow climbing skills is welcome on this trip. If you are registered for another Alpine Review trip on another day, this can be a great way to round out the weekend! Or you can attend two full days of skills training to really get tuned up for the coming alpine season.

We'll work on skills such as climbing steep snow, step kicking, self-arrest, glissading, roping up for glacier travel, crevasse rescue, route-finding, anchors, etc. The plan for each day can be flexible to account for what participants are most keen to practice, so come with ideas!

The Plan:

Meet at Rampart Creek hostel at 7:30am to form teams and distribute group gear. From there we'll head to Parker's ridge to practice for the day.

Required Items to Bring:
Harness, helmet,mountaineering ice axe, mountaineering boots prussiks, misc. carabiners/cordage/webbing (to be discussed), pack.

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
