It looks like we might finally get a break in
the weather this Sunday, so who's up for a day
of climbing? Black Band on Tunnel Mountain in
Banff has a good mix of climbs in the 5.8 -
5.10c range. The approach is only about 20
minutes, so you can save your energy for
climbing.
I will need at least one person who can provide
a safe lead belay but all must be able to
provide a safe top-rope belay. Please let me
know in the comments section if you have your
own gear (rope, draws, anchor package) and if
you can lead/lead belay. I will set up top
ropes for anyone who wants to TR.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
- harness, helmet, belay device, rock shoes
- rope/draws/sport anchor if you have them
- lunch, water, rain clothes
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
- sunscreen, chalk, bug spray
|
|
| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |

The trailhead is just below the Banff Centre for
the Arts. It shows on the map as the "Surprise
Corner Viewpoint."

anchor material, etc.) and if you plan on lead
climbing or top roping. Thanks.

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.
