This mentorship event is part of the AMP
(Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by ACC
Calgary section jointly with ACMG Guide Brent
Peters.
This is a one-day overview of glacier travel
and crevasse rescue just in time for traverse/ski
mountaineering season. Maybe you want to get
on a glacier this spring but don't know crevasse
rescue, maybe it's just been a while and you could
use some practice to dust off the cobwebs. Maybe
you want to practice to be a great teammate and
not rely on the trip leader... who is going to be
at the bottom of the crevasse...
The goals/objectives are:
Glacier travel and risk assessment
Rope work for glacier travel
Building snow anchors
Crevasse rescue
Ascending/descending the rope
Cost: $135
Put your name on the waitlist.
Email your experience to Kathryn (katdavison8@gm
ail.com). Very likely you will be
accepted, but Kathryn will confirm your acceptance
before you pay.
Once accepted send an e-Transfer
payment to the Treasurer at treasurerAMP@acccalgary.ca.
This payment must be made within 7 days of being
accepted. If you don't pay, we will move onto
screening the next participant and you are moved
to the bottom of the line.
When you send your payment also send
to treasurerAMP@acccalgary.ca the
following information: Name, Full address
including postal code, phone number, email,
course/event title and date, Trip
Leader/Coordinator, and the password to accept
payment.
Email the e-Transfer evidence to the trip
coordinator – Kathryn Davison (katdavison8@gm
ail.com) Once I have confirmation from
you that you have paid, I will move you from the
waiting to the attendee list.

*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.
