Itinerary:
Skill Session fundays kick off!! Fuel your good weather itch and lets get brushed up on rope management and rescue skills. Come out and practice. I will have a few accident scenarios for the more experienced along with a review of some fundamental rope rescue techniques applicable for all types of climbing to get us kicked off. Beginners welcome but it will be most effective if you do a few minutes of research pre meeting but not necessary. (Escaping belays, hauling techniques, extended rappels, rope ascension are some things you can google)
Required Items to Bring:
Bring everything you need to practice! You will need locking and non locking biners, harnesses, belay device, personal anchor, prussic, anchor, and a few draws. I will have prussic cords if you need one or want to try other types.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:   Location might change depending on the weather

AGENDA is as follows: April: Escaping Belay/Anchors May: Getting to the climber(rope ascension/rappel) June: Moving a Climber (hauling, two person raps, lowering) July: Scenario 1 (Decision Making pre and post incident/respond) Aug: TBA - (Rope efficiency/Multi pitch techniques?)

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.

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.
