For this AMP event we will meet in Exshaw and go to a crag in the Bow Valley.
This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine Mentorship Program) organized by ACC Calgary Section jointly with ACMG Mountain Guide Brent Peters from PeakSTRATAGEM.
This is an AMP 1 event and is suitable for beginner mountaineers who are confident leading 5.6 and up, and who are looking at climbing longer routes with technical terrain.
The cost for this event is $175 and includes 1 day of mentorship with an instructor from PeakSTRATAGEM. The focus will be on developing multi pitch systems that can translate to rock climbing, alpine rock, ice and mountaineering. If students understand anchor basics, the majority of the time will be spent in the vertical working belaying the second climber, rope management, transitions and technical descents.

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.
