Itinerary: |
*THIS IS A REPLACEMENT FOR RYAN'S BALFOUR TRIP AND DOM'S TWO O'CLOCK FALLS TRIP* We will leave the hostel and drive about 20 minutes to the parking for Balfour wall. It's a bit of a hike up to the climbs. Once there we'll set up top ropes and people can run laps on a variety of spots. Balfour can get a bit busy so we may be sharing with other groups.
During the day we can just climb, or people can participate in the anchor building, practice v-threads, mock lead etc. Whatever the group wants.
Participants need to know how to top-rope belay.
This event is for Ice Review participants. Participants will remain on the waiting list for this event until they have signed up for the Ice Review weekend. Also, if you haven't climbed with me before please send an email with a brief summary of your experience and I will get straight back to you. Dom@Argentall.com

Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
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.
