| Itinerary: |
|
Come ski up to the peak of Cathedral Mountain. While going up, the conditions will be assessed to determine that the North Coulior exit is viable, if not, we will maintain an exit back to the Lake O'Hara Parking Lot. This will be an alpine start for the day at the Lake O'Hara Parking Lot for 3 AM. Our pace will be moderate, with a strong fitness level (not skimo level).
You should be a confident skier/splitboarder capable of double black diamond terrain in non-ideal conditions.
Rapping skills are a must for this line with experience in glacial travel and crevasse rescue techniques.
If we have not skied together, please send me your ski touring CV/Resume. I will be accepting digitally completed trip waivers only. Please email it to me prior to the trip. Waiver link: ACC Trip Waiver 2022

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.
