Most of the route is in the 5.5 - 5.6 range with one 5.7 crux pitch. This route does have a reputation for loose rock on the upper pitches, though more recent reports seem to suggest it isn't 'that bad' if care is taken. Expect a one hour approach with about 400 m of elevation gain.

Let's get an early start from Calgary - if there's a car already parked at the trailhead we will find another multipitch of similar difficulty to climb.
Required Items to Bring:
Helmet, harness, rock shoes, belay device, 2-3 lockers, personal anchor, warm layers, warm gloves, rain shell, headlamp, food, water

Recommended Items to Bring:
Camera, sunscreen

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   06:15 AM
Carpool Location:   Valley Ridge Outdoor Rink
Carpool Directions:   170 Valley Meadow Close NW

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.
