Itinerary:

The intention of this trip is to climb Athabasca, either by the AA Col or the Ramp Route on the Saturday - setting off very early to get the best snow conditions. We will climb as 2 rope teams, but we will be in close communication and take the same route.

Of course this is entirely weather dependent, and we may do something entirely different

This is part of the Alpine Review and you will also have to register for this

Prior to the trip we will head out on a scramble to get to know people, and there will be a crevasse rescue practice night beforehand too when people are confirmed on the trip

All participants will be pre-screened, so please email your alpine / mountaineering / climbing experience. If you don't get in touch, you will not get on the trip

Required Items to Bring:
Ice axe, crampons with anti-balling plates, harness, helmet, headlamp, glacier gear (inc. crevasse rescue kit), warm clothing, drink. A detailed kit list will be sent when you're accepted on the trip.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Meals/snacks/drinks, ski pole, extra clothing, small personal 1st aid kit and any required personal items.

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   05:00 PM
Carpool Location:   Petro Canada Highway 1 / Highway 22
Carpool Directions:   Meet at the North / Cochrane end - we will also organize a Calgary car pool closer to the time.

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.
