This is a beginner scrambling event and is suitable for experienced hikers with a high level of fitness. These members are strong hikers who are looking to get off the trail and higher into the mountains. Having been on other scrambles would be helpful but not mandatory.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Weather dependent.
Decision making points:
- Carpool location;
- Trailhead;
- Along the trail as necessary.
*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.
