ROCK
REVIEWis an annual season-opener
event. The review is an opportunity for beginners to get their feet under
them and receive some mentorship, for members to socialize and join one another
on climbs, and to thaw out our iced-over rock skills in prep for the upcoming
climbing season!
The
information below is for those who are going to be camping, Friday and
Saturday or just Saturday night. You can participate the day events without
camping but you still need to sign up for the events.
*Trip
Leaders will be posting climbing opportunities separately from the general
event - you will need to sign up for these events independently - more events
will be posted closer to the event*
ACCOMMODATIONS:We have booked camping at Canoe
Meadows Group Campground. Tents and RVs can both be accommodated, there
is no power though for RVs to plug into.
**You
need to bring your OWN DRINKING WATER and FOOD for the evening and climbing
days**
SCHEDULE:
Friday (after 5pm): Come out to Canoe Meadows Group Campground
and hang with the group if you'd like.
Saturday AM: Top ropes will be set up in a local area. Come out for some top
rope fun or head out with your own buddies for a day on the rock. Check the
event calendar for other day-trip events as well.
Saturday PM: More hangout time at the campsite while people make their own
dinners; campfire, drinks and shenanigans to follow!
Sunday AM: More fun on the rock. In addition to the trips posted for Sunday,
there are usually some plans made Saturday night. A top rope area may be set
up, depending on interest and availability of volunteers.
PAYMENTS:The cost is $27 per camping unit; (1 x tent or 1 x rv) per night and payment can be made using the PayPal button below. (For 2 nights, pay using the member button, for 1 night please use the guest PayPal button). When
you register please email Clare (clareormerod@hotmail.co.uk) and Chelsea
(cldarrach@outlook.com) to let them know who how many nights you are camping and who you are sharing a unit with. We don't want to be chasing people up for camping payments if they're
sharing with someone who has paid for a unit.
LEADERS: Leaders will post trips
independent of the camping. You will need to sign up BOTH for the ROCK REVIEW
EVENT and for any separate TRIPS (or plan a private trip).
Expect some group TR/cragging events for all levels as well multi-pitch
objectives.
MINORS: We welcome participants of
all ages, those 16 and under must attend with a parent or other designated
adult. All minors (18 and under) should contact the leaders when signing up.
QUESTIONS: as usual, please email
questions to any of the leaders or the climbing chair (Chelsea,
cldarrach@outlook.com)
**If you are a beginner and others are setting up ropes at a crag all you may need is your harness, rock shoes, helmet and belay device (carabiner, ATC and/or GriGri)**
Weekend camping gear.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Ropes**, draws, trad gear, guidebooks - ACC can provide some ropes but additional ones if you have them would be helpful.
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.
