Itinerary:

This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by ACC Calgary section jointly with ACMG Guide Brent Peters.

 

The warm weather is here and if you want to leave the gym and transition into outdoor sport climbing, this course is for you!

 

Cost: $97

 

This Alpine Mentorship Event is called pre-AMP because it is for people new to outdoor sport climbing. The only pre- requisite is that you have done some climbing and leading in the gym up to 5.8. This day long event will allow you to safely transition to outdoor rock climbing!

 

The course will cover: safe belay technique and considerations for outdoor hazards, building top rope anchors, cleaning anchors, lowering and rappelling.
