Alpine review is not first come first on the weekend. The nature of alpine climbing and the limited number of spots means that each participant will have to be vetted by the individual trip leader. There will be trips for novice, intermediate, and advanced alpine climbers! Note that your position on the waitlist does not impact chances of getting on a trip. So if you see a trip you like, sign up! Members who have participated in past ACC events will be given priority over people who are not yet active with the club. It doesn't matter if you are only signed up for one trip, the tendency seems to be that leaders post trips for the Saturday and then discuss options for the Sunday during their Saturday trip or over dinner at the hostel. You won't be added on to the Alpine Review event until you have signed up for, been accepted onto a trip and paid the event fee. Please note you need to be signed up on the wait list for the whole weekend and also on the individual trips you want to attend.
Costs are $110 for participants, and $80 for leaders. This covers accommodation at Beauty Creek hostel and a communal dinner on the Saturday night, including a small amount of alcoholic beverages. (Participants are subsidizing trip leaders costs for dinner & drinks). Once you are accepted on a trip, payment should be made by using the PayPal button below, once payment is received you will be moved onto the event.
To sign up for this event, please add yourself to the waiting list and email details of your experience to Clare at clareormerod@hotmail.co.uk and Dom at dom@argentall.com and keep your eye on the calendar for individual Alpine Review trips being posted.
Once you are approved, please make payment using the PayPal button below. You will then be moved to the participants' list.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Clare and she'll get straight back to you.
** LEADERS: If you want to be a trip leader please email me at Dom who will be coordinating the leaders to be sure we have the right leader/participant ratio, fill up (but don't overfill) the hostel, etc. You can post a two day trip if you'd like, or you can post a single day trip for either Saturday or Sunday. **
