Itinerary:

We’ll meet at 7:00 pm at the tables on the main floor of Stronghold Climbing for greetings and partner matching. Everyone is welcome new climbers, returning climbers, and anyone looking to build skills, or find partners. If you plan to belay, you’ll need to have passed the Calgary Climbing Centre belay test (top rope and/or lead, depending on what you want to do). These nights are training-focused, so expect gentle nudges to try new things, including leading at easy grades if you’re new. We’ll keep it supportive, safe, and fun. Regular CCC gym fees for drop-in or membership apply.

Required Items to Bring:
harness, belay device, climbing shoes, chalk


Aside from safety, the rules are simple: there are no rules.
Show up when you can, climb what you want, and enjoy the company. It’ll be great to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new partners.


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.
