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 rock climbers who want to learn to
safely lead outdoor sport routes.
Specific topics will cover safe lead climbing,
lead
belaying, efficient clipping and
unclipping, safer location for belayers,
hazards assessments and will review building
and cleaning anchors.
Cost:
$104 for the one day course. This event is
a great deal compared to other similar events.
Pre-requisites:
Basic outdoor climbing experience up to
5.8, top rope belaying, knowledge of building
and cleaning anchors. Pre-AMP Intro to
Outdoor Sport Climbing course is a suggested

Notes:
This event is the second 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 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.
