| Notes: |
|
-RockRave is an inclusive, welcoming environment for climbers of all levels - A great way to explore local crags, meet other climbers, and find new partners - Free to join - just pitch in for gas if you’re carpooling - Photographers are always welcome
- Apparently one of the leaders likes Oreos and takes bribes

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.
