We've booked out the Nordegg Hostel again this year to access lots of great beginner & intermediate ice with likely low avalanche hazard. This also
means
bunk
beds (some double beds) in small rooms (5 per
room), hot
water, sauna, fire pit, large kitchen & common
areas for our
evening meals. Lots of space to dry gear
overnight. There are
several great beginner climbing areas as well
as
a number of
multi-pitch and harder routes. Icefield Parkway
climbs are also
accessible from this base.
Ice Review is a season-opener. It is an
opportunity for beginners to get their feet
under
them and
receive some mentorship, for members to
socialize, join one-
another on climbs, and practice skills.
Reservation cost is $90 per person for the
weekend, including a group meal/drinks on
Saturday and
lodging for both Friday and Saturday nights.
Trip
leaders, cook volunteers & coordinators will
be eligible for subsidy to this cost based on the extent of participation.
******MONEY**************
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Reservations Amount is $90, to be payed through PayPal (PayPal will take credit card and VISA debit payments-see button below). Once paid, please email confirmation to Marie-Eve Lamothe-Gascon and/or climb@acccalgary.ca.
HOW THE $$ WILL WORK: Once payment is
collected,
we will
- pay the hostel booking
- pay for food for the Saturday night meal
- provide subsidies to trip leaders/mentors
and
organizers
- reimburse excess funds to participants in
cash at the event
******BEDS**************
IF you & a partner are interested in/can
use
one of the double beds (there are several in
the hostel) please EMAIL ME DIRECTLY to let me
know: annedrewpotter@gmail.com
I believe most of the rooms, including those
with double beds accommodate around 5-7 people.
******LEADING/COORDINATING CLIMBS**************
Look for a forthcoming email request for leaders to post trips. You can post at any time. We need a diversity of TR\cragging sites, multipitches, large groups,small groups, more or less teaching\mentoring.
******FOOD**************
FOOD: Closer to the event I will ask for
some
information about dietary needs, at a minimum I
expect to be able to accommodate: omnivores,
vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free. We may be
able to get more specific as well. I will
need volunteers to help with food prep &
cooking.
******BEGINNERS & Courses**************
Beginners are welcome, there will be Top-
Rope
crags set up where you can learn the basics. If
you have the chance to take an intro-to-ice
course beforehand, it is recommended but not required. We also have an option to
include a course during the event if desired
for additional cost. IF you would like to learn
from a guide on this weekend, please email me
directly: annedrewpotter@gmail.com. If we have
enough interest for learning the same skill
(Introduction to ice, leading on ice, or other
ideas) then I can book a guide. Cost may be an
additional $125-$250 per person depending on
the course and number of days. We would need at
least 4-6 people who want to do the same
course.
CHEERS ALL!
