This is the first of a series of traditional rock climbs I am leading to
the icon of the Front Ranges: Yamnuska. What better way to
celebrate historic climbing in the Bow Valley than to play on the
classic trade routes on Yam.
Grillmair Chimneys 5.6 is the oldest route on Yam, first ascended
in
1952 in bold style. Vertical tunnelling the finishing pitch is unique
on any mountain to say the least.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
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.
