We've booked out the Nordegg Hostel to try out
a more luxurious ice review this year. This
means
bunk
beds (some double beds) in small rooms (5 per
room), hot
water, sauna, fire pit, large kitchen & common
areas for our
evening meals. Lots of space to dry gear
overnight. There are
several great beginner climbing areas as well
as
a number of
multi-pitch and harder routes. Icefield Parkway
climbs are also
accessible from this base.
Ice Review is a season-opener. It is an
opportunity for beginners to get their feet
under
them and
receive some mentorship, for members to
socialize, join one-
another on climbs, and practice skills.
Reservation cost is $120 per person for the
weekend, including a group meal/drinks on
Saturday and
lodging for both Friday and Saturday nights.
Trip
leaders will
be eligible for subsidy to this cost based on
the
number of
participants they can accommodate on their
trips.
******MONEY**************
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Reservations Amount is $120, create an
email
transfer to treasurer@acccalgary.ca
EVERYONE SHOULD USE THE SAME PASSWORD: "parker"
Payment deadline is Nov. 30. But we may fill up
before then, and it will be first come-first
serve (unless we need extra leaders).
When you make payment please ALSO email
confirmation to both treasurer@acccalgary.ca
and annedrewpotter@gmail.com that you have paid
for ice review.
Thank you!
HOW THE $$ WILL WORK: Once payment is
collected,
we will
- pay the hostel booking
- pay for food for the Saturday night meal
- provide subsidies to trip leaders/mentors
and
organizers
- reimburse excess funds to participants in
cash at the event
******BEDS**************
IF you & a partner are interested in/can
use
one of the double beds (there are several in
the hostel) please EMAIL ME DIRECTLY to let me
know: annedrewpotter@gmail.com
I believe most of the rooms, including those
with double beds accommodate around 5-7 people.
******LEADING/COORDINATING CLIMBS**************
IF you expect you may be leading a climb,
or
willing to run a TR site, please sign up for
the ICE REVIEW LEADER SOCIAL Oct 23:
http://acccalgaryc.web712.disco
un
tasp.net/events/details.asp?eventid=4427
If you can't make it to this meeting feel free
to
email me with you ideas (& experience) instead.
******FOOD**************
FOOD: Closer to the event I will ask for
some
information about dietary needs, at a minimum I
expect to be able to accommodate: omnivores,
vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free. We may be
able to get more specific as well. I may also
need volunteers to help with food prep &
cooking.
******BEGINNERS & Courses**************
Beginners are welcome, there will be Top-
Rope
crags set up where you can learn the basics. If
you have the chance to take an intro-to-ice
course beforehand, I would recommend that, but
it is not required. We also have an option to
include a course during the event if desired
for additional cost. IF you would like to learn
from a guide on this weekend, please email me
directly: annedrewpotter@gmail.com. If we have
enough interest for learning the same skill
(Introduction to ice, leading on ice, or other
ideas) then I can book a guide. Cost may be an
additional $125-$250 per person depending on
the course and number of days. We would need at
least 4-6 people who want to do the same
course.
CHEERS ALL!
