Itinerary:
Mellow-paced east to west traverse of Yamnuska. Ramblers did this Sunday, May 16, and as you can see there is no need for either ice axe or crampons. We'll take the longer more open traverse east and back to approach east end of Yam, rather than climbing steeply through the trees.

  • Leave Assumption school at 8:30. That might give you just enough time to rent an axe or crampons from the Outdoor Centre at the university if you need to.
  • Start from Yamnuska parking lot by 9:30.
  • Arrive back at Assumption probably around 4:30pm.
This is my first ACC trip lead, under Dana's mentorship.
Required Items to Bring:
Layers, rain shell, good footwear, food, water

Recommended Items to Bring:
sunscreen, hiking boots, gators if you want to keep stones out during the scree descents

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
