SECTION CAMP: INTERNATIONAL BASIN
This summer we’ll be heading to the International
Basin. The GMC was there last summer and
all feedback is that it is a fantastic location. It offers a broad range of activity with
alpine technical peaks, hiking, stunning location to spend a rest day or two
admiring the alpine flowers.
We are
collating route information and trip logs from last year’s camp. Once collated we’ll upload to a shared drive
and add the link to the event posting.
When: Sign
up for one of 3 weeks: This posting is for week 1: 9-16 July.
Where: International
Basin, British Columbia Base at an elevation of appx 2100 m.
Who: 12
(max) ACC Members per week. The camp is self-guided, self-catered and self-
managed. Most, if not all, routes will involve glacier travel, so
participants should have knowledge of crevasse rescue techniques. Whilst
the Camp is self-guided, we can accommodate some less experienced team members,
so please email Clare – clareormerod@hotmail.co.uk – if you’re not certain, to
discuss your application.
