HOSTEL:
We've booked out the Shunda Creek Hostel in Nordegg. This is a great hostel that has a wood burning stove in the communal area, a sauna and outside fire pit. It's listed as having showers, but let's see if they are operational in January.
HOW TO SIGN UP:
Participants sign up for the hostel weekend and for individual trips which will, hopefully, be posted by the mid November, the leaders will check out your experience and let you know if you are accepted onto the trip.
Once participants have been accepted onto an individual trip need, they will then be transferred to the participants' list for the weekend and need to pay using the Paypal button below.
Everyone attending Ice Review will need to be signed up for at least 1 separate climbing event; as well as the overall Ice Review (this trip posting) to confirm their bed.
Note that Ice Review payments will be non-refundable, but if a person has to cancel and they are able to find a replacement suitable to the trip leader, they can sell/give over their spot.
COST:
The price for the hostel beds and food/drink on the Saturday night is $160, leaders are subsidised and the cost is $80. Once all monies are in and food/drink costs calculated we will issue a refund if there is money left over.
QUESTIONS:
If you have any questions please contact Clare (clareormerod@hotmail.co.uk)
Required Items to Bring:
- Dinner + drink for Friday night, breakfasts for Saturday and Sunday. Enough food for 2/3 days of climbing, plenty of spare clothing, headlamp. - Climbing gear: harness, helmet, belay device, 2 locking 'biners, technical ice tools, etc. Check with your trip organizer if you are at all unsure
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.
