This is a practice session for ROCK IT
attendees
to go out and practice the skills they learned
in
the previous training sessions. It isn't
mandatory, but we encourage everyone who cannot
attend this session to practice on their own,
so
they can move on to the next topic at the next
training session.
This event is specifically for ROCK IT
participants.
The Real Outdoor Climbing Knowledge
Introductory
Training (ROCK IT) program is the Calgary
Section’s introduction to rock climbing
program.
This is for all people new to rock climbing. No
previous experience in any climbing activity is
required; however, a certain amount of basic
fitness for the approaches (max 30min) and to
carry a backpack with gear to the crag would be
an advantage. ROCK IT is not a training program
for your physical strength, but we will set you
up with the technical knowledge necessary to
take
part on other Section trips posted on the trip
schedule throughout the summer like the weekly
Rock Rage, as well as other ACC day and weekend
trips. The ultimate goal of the program is to
take participants from the beginner level to
self
sufficient climbers who can climb on their own
and be safe and competent climbing partners.
All
of the sessions will be posted on the club
calendar, so keep an eye out for them.
-Helmets are mandatory.
-bring your rain jacket and don't assume the
event will be cancelled just because the
forecast
looks bad. If for some reason the event needs
to
be cancelled, we will send out a notification
by
3PM the afternoon of the event.
Please make sure you read the entire program

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
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.
