We will ski in to and beyond Bow Hut on day #1, camping W of
the Gordon col. Day #2 we ski across the glacier and ascend
Ayesha (some ski climbing, some exposed scrambling). Day #3
we ski out, hopefully with enough time to bag Gordon and
Rhondda.
Although the skiing is not difficult, this is a trip for experienced
alpinists who have enjoyed overnight camps on glaciers and
have mountaineered under winter conditions. Ayesha is a
delightful approach and ascent, but weather will be a
determining factor in regard to success.
Please note: I already have several applicants for this trip, so
inclusion may locked down very quickly. If you are among the
disappointed, I may try to link up all those in the same situation
to form a separate but parallel group.

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.
