We are heading to the iconic Bugaboos for this
AMP event that will hone your alpine skills for
multi-pitch mountaineering, glacier travel and
trad rock climbing. This mentorship event is
part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program)
organized by ACC Calgary Section jointly with ACMG
Guide Brent Peters from Peak Stragegem.
The cost for this event is $561 and includes 4
days (July 26-29) of mentorship with an ACMG guide
from Peak Stragegem. We will be camping at
the Bugaboo Applebee campground. Please note, each
participant will pay for their own camping fees
upon arrival. The hike in is not long, but
is very strenuous, 5.6 km with 900 meter elevation

This Alpine Mentorship Event is for individuals
who have basic mountaineering experience and
