The Real Outdoor Climbing Knowledge
Introductory Training
(ROCK IT) program is for all people new to rock
climbing or for
people who need a refresher from scratch. No
previous
experience in any climbing activity is
required. ROCK IT is not
a training program for your physical strength,
but we will set
you up with the technical knowledge necessary
to take part on
other Section trips posted on the trip schedule
throughout the
summer like the weekly Rock Rage, as well as
other ACC day
and weekend trips. The ultimate goal of the
program is to take
participants from the beginner level to self
sufficient climbers
who can climb on their own and be safe and
competent
climbing partners. All of the sessions will be
posted on the club
calendar, so keep an eye out for them.
The Third Session is in the city and will be
focused on setting-
up and cleaning anchors, transitioning over to
rappelling, as
well as rappelling itself (aka setting and
cleaning an anchor)
We will also try to answer any questions you
might have
regarding any other related skills/problems.
Preference will be given to participants who
have attended the previous two sessions.
Participants will have to demonstrate the
skills covered in sessions 1-3 (tying in,
belaying, setting an anchor, rappelling etc.)
in order to attend outdoor sessions.
Required Items to Bring:
As this one session is held in the city, no
rock climbing shoes
and helmet are necessary, but still bring your
harness,
belay/rappel device, anchor package
(lockers/biners and
sling), self belay sling, prussic cord/hollow
block, rope,
appropriate clothing.

*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.
