This is part of the Rock review. I will be
camping Friday and Saturday night.
Jeff will lead a separate rope team.
You must know how to provide a safe lead
belay on single or double ropes and practiced
cleaning trad protection. No multi-pitch
experience necessary and you are not expected
to lead,
but if you feel up for it then great!
We will climb one (or two) of the many
traditional multi-pitch routes on Kid goat.
Options
are Twilight(5.7), Highlight(5.9), Twilight
Zone(5.7), Keelhaul Wall(5.6) or Slingsby's
Overhang(5.7). Choice of route will depend on
the abilities of our team and other climbers on
the cliff. We'll plan to be early to have first
choice.
We will travel up and over the climb and
making a walk-off towards climbers right down a
drainage with a short 4th class step. This
means we will carry everything with us up the
climb.
Choose wisely with what you bring. If time and
fitness allow, we will attempt a second route
up.

Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
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.
