This trip is for Ice Review participants only. You must be registered for the Ice Review and staying at the Hostel on Friday and Saturday nights.
We will depart the Hostel at 8:30, Carpooling to the trail head on the David Thompson Highway. From the trail head we will walk to the base of the climb. During this walk we pass through Sacred Grounds of the First Nations and will observe respect to these grounds.
The climb is three short pitches and participants should be familiar with basic multi-pitch techniques. Time permitting we can also explore further on to the falls. At the end of the day we will walk off the climb and return to the hostel for the evening activities.

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.
