Itinerary:

This is a Women's Climbing Mentorship Group trip, priority to women & group participants. The purpose of this group is for women to have the opportunity to learn in an environment where they are not the minority and can expect supportive coaching.

We've booked 4 beds at Athabasca Falls Hostel for a weekend of WI2/3 ice climbing in the Jasper area. This trip is geared towards new leaders looking for a supportive space as you tie into the sharp end.

The plan is to leave Friday afternoon and return Sunday evening, so please plan accordingly.

The cost is $65 for the hostel.

If you are interested, please email Jackie and/or Susan, and let us know your ice climbing background. Preference will be given to those who have attended previous WMG trips. Carpooling determined based on participants.

Required Items to Bring:
Crampon-compatible boots (ski boots work), ice crampons*, ice tools*, harness, helmet, belay device, personal anchor (or 2), goggles/glasses for face protection, gloves (multiple), warm layers, stoke & a positive attitude! *you may be able to borrow or rent these if you don't own them...

Recommended Items to Bring:
thermos, hand warmers, screws, draws, screamers, ropes

Notes:

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
