Itinerary:

This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by ACC Calgary section jointly with ACMG Guide Brent Peters and PeakStratagem. Either Brent or one of PeakStratagem assistant guides will be teaching this event.

This event is for beginner climbers or those who want to transition from climbing in the gym to climbing real rock.  Specific topics will cover safe outdoor belaying, building top rope anchors, cleaning anchors, lowering and rappelling.

Cost: $104 for the one day course.  

This event is a great deal compared to other similar events.

Since this event is for beginners we will not be screening participants. Who pays first, gets to go. The process to sign up is as follows:

  • Put your name on the waitlist and pay on the same day.  
  • Make your payment by clicking the Buy Now button below. You do not need a PayPal account. You can pay with a credit card.
  • Once you have paid, take a screenshot of the receipt PayPal displays and send it to the trip coordinator who will put you on the registered list.

Required Items to Bring:
The club will provide ropes. You need your personal gear: Harness, helmet, rock shoes, chalk bag, belay device, draws, anchor, long sling or personal anchor, 2 lockers. PeakStratagem may provide some gear if you are missing any of the required equipment. Make these arrangements directly with PeakStratagem.

Recommended Items to Bring:
All the things you'll want for a day outside climbing: Sturdy approach/belay shoes (no sandals or crocs please), food and water, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bear spray, camera, etc.

Notes:

This Alpine Mentorship Event is called pre-AMP because it is for people new to outdoor sport climbing. The only prerequisite is that you have done some climbing in the gym up to 5.8.  This event is the first in a series of four 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 separately for each course and there is no requirement to sign up for all four.  More experienced climbers can sign up for courses based on their current skills and learning needs.


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.
