We will head to upper junkyards, set up some top ropes and get in some
laps! We'll cover the basics if you are new to
ice. Good preparation for participation in future
WMG trips! Priority goes to those who were on the
WMG waitlist for previous ice climbing events. Meet at the west valley carpool lot beside grow calgary (formerly known as the recycle bin parking lot) in Calgary-leaving at 6:15 am to get to the grassi lake parking lot by 7:30 am. If you are interested to join the trip, please send Leah leah.neigum@gmail.com an email with your experience level. All levels are welcome, but we'll need to know how much experience each person has so we can balance out the skills for the entire team.
Required Items to Bring:
Crampon-compatible boots, ice crampons, ice tools, harness, helmet, belay
device, personal anchor (or 2), prussic, goggles/glasses for face protection, gloves (multiple), warm
layers (big belay puffy), thermos with warm
drinks, food, headlamp
We need someone to meet Chelsea at the upper grassi lake parking lot early (by 7 am) to help set up top ropes. Please email me if you are able to do this! The crag as this is a popular spot for beginners-so we are getting an early start.
Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
No partial attendance - 1 day event
*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.
