This mentorship event is part of the AMP
(Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by the
ACC Calgary section jointly with ACMG Guide
Brent Peters and PeakStratagem. Either Brent or
one of the PeakStratagem assistant guides will
be teaching this event.
This event is for climbers who want to learn
how to tackle multi-pitch routes. By the end
of the course, you should be able to build and
tie into an anchor, bring up a second, practice
effective rope management, and safely descend a
route.

is a great deal compared to other similar
events.

individual courses designed to help climbers
progress from indoor climbing, to safely climbing,
leading, multi-pitching, and placing trad gear on
outdoor rock. Participants will be selected

experienced climbers can sign up for individual
courses based on their current skills and learning
needs.

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.
