Plan will be an alpine start to tackle the NE Ridge to the summit of Mount Bell. The route is rated somewhere between 5.3-5.5, depending on who you believe. It's a classic rockies alpine route. You should be comfortable scrambling 4th/low 5th class terrain. This is a long route with lots of scrambling. We will bring a rope and gear to pitch out trickier sections.
Descent is via a steep snow gully. Mountaineering axe required, crampons possibly needed.
This is a day trip, with carpool from Calgary. Expect the climb to take about 12h.
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.
