Itinerary:
The instructor for this skills series is ACMG guide Brent Peters who has assisted the Calgary Section in the development of the Alpine Mentorship Program (AMP). Participants will be instructed and coached to learn and develop their skills, in order for members to be active participants in, and potentially lead, safe and successful trips.

Demonstrate and practice the tied off italian hitch, including belaying. Learn and practice a long raise using a progress capture belay device. Learn and practice a short raise using a "block and tackle". Learn and practice rope ascension using a progress capture belay device.

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.
