Itinerary:
Rock Rescue Day 101: Join us for a day to learn or review self rescue techniques for the vertical world. Learn how to escape a belay as a second and as a leader, how to ascend a rope with various tools.

Put your new skills into practice with scenarios.. This course is for anyone who ever asked himself or herself…”what would I do if something happened right now?”

Cost : $135

This trip will be a first-come-first-serve and this is based on who can deliver their $135 (GST included) cheque/cash/INTERAC e-Transfer first.

Your payment options are as follows: mail a cheque out to the attention of "Alpine Club of Canada - Calgary Section" to the address I will email you once a few have registered.. Or send an INTERAC e- Transfer to the ACC Treasurer using treasurertandl@ACCCalgary.ca, We prefer the later. Let the treasurer know your name, email and the course it is for! Also, send a follow-up email to the Treasurer with the password. We prefer INTERAC e- Transfer. Pease be advised that if you have paid and need to pull out of the course, there will be no refund. Rather, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement and obtain a cash transfer from that person. The T&L Committee will work to help you find a replacement if time allows. The sooner we know that you cannot attend the better.
