This event is meant for Rock Review participants. If anyone would like to attend that is not camping please let me know in the notes, but priority will be given to people who are camping at Canoe Meadows.
Plan is to head out from the campground at a reasonable hour and climb until dusk. Birdwatcher's is the newest and greatest crag in Kananaskis which has sport routes from 5.7 to 5.12, with plentiful good options in the 5.9-5.10 range. Full information and location at sendage.com The crag is predominantly sport but there are a few mixed and trad climbs, so if anyone wants to bring a rack and try them out they are welcome.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |

All regular climbing gear including helmet, shoes, harness, belay device.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |

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.
