The curriculum would include: clean-aid placements, testing pieces, efficiency, rope ascension and lower outs. All systems will be practiced as mock-leads or with back-up ropes.

This is not a beginner course so some climbing experience is necessary. Participants should have some of their own rack and should have taken a trad rock course.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Warm clothes (expect to stand around and listen/learn) and then participate, sun screen and camera

Once accepted you will need to deliver the $155.00 (this includes tax) cheque/cash/INTERAC e-Transfer (to ACC Calgary).
