| Itinerary: |
|
The plan is to climb Morning Side which is a 4 pitch 5.7 sport multi pitch. I will lead all of the pitches on the climb. The approach is approx 1km and a little over 100m elevation and is expected to take 15 mins. We will stage near the base of the route upon arrival and prepare for the climb. The descent will be by rappels/lower or possible walk off if the route is busy and then returning back along the approach trail from the base of the route to the parking lot. There is an option to add on other short multi pitches in the area if interested. Participants must be competent at belaying a leader and comfortably climbing up to 5.7 outdoors and be on the move for 4-8 hours. Please send a brief description of your experience level & abilities including relevant climbs you have been on in the past.

| Required Items to Bring: |

Any medications you might need. Good hiking/approach shoes.

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.
