The
cost for this event is $213 and includes 2 days (June 8 - June 9) of
mentorship with a guide.
This
mentorship event is part of AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program)
organized by the ACC Calgary Section Alpine Chair jointly with ACMG
Mountain Guide Brent Peters' company PeakSTRATAGEM.
No one
plans to have an accident while out climbing but do you know what to
do in the event of one? Imagine, you are on pitch three of a multipitch
route and the leader take a fall with more than half the rope out. They
are unresponsive! Do you know what to do? Could you deal with the
technical aspects of a complex rescue in this scenario? This
Alpine Mentorship Event is for individuals with prior rock climbing
experience that want to learn the fundamentals of Rock Rescue. The
event will be designed for multi-pitch rock and alpine climbers and
will cover rope ascension using 2 prusiks or 1 prusik with a progress
capture; counter balance rope ascension; releasable load transfers;
counterbalance rappels; and tandem rappels. This is a full rope
rescue tool box.

an e-Transfer payment to the Treasurer at

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

Email the e-Transfer

Courses will run regardless of weather unless the guide deems
conditions unsafe then a back-up option may be executed. This is to
be decided by the guide the evening before.
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.
Trip Feedback If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
