Itinerary:

This is a northeast facing crag on Baldy, just north of the existing Barrier Bluffs . The routes are generally in the 5.10 range (with one 5.9), with technical edging and slab. The area goes into the shade around noon, so we plan to meet at the Casino at 10:45. We will email closer to the date with carpooling details. Looking for generally self-sufficient participants, able to lead belay and clean routes, although we will probably have enough people to put ropes up if the grade is above your lead-climbing ability. 


All further details will be discussed directly with the participants.

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.
