John McMechan and Erik Esser will Co-lead the trip as part of trip leader training. If John doesn't know you please send a brief email outlining your experience and recent trips to both John and Erik at John.mcmechan@yahoo.ca and Erikersser@gmail.com. FYI I don't see connections through the ACC site it has to be directly through email.
Mount Burstall is a difficult scramble offering views of Mount Birdwood,
Sir Douglas, and Galatea. Refer Bob Spiro, Stevensong, Explor8ion for
descriptions.
Leave Calgary carpool by 6, be on trail by 8. Must have the fitness for moderate
pace and experience in exposed situations. We will have some protection gear
and rope if needed. We will connect with the group Friday with exact trip details.
If the weather isn't conducive to a difficult scramble we will pick something in the area that is less difficult.

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.
