Itinerary:



Let's climb some rock!


The plan is to crag in the David Thompson Corridor (Nordegg Area). Crags will be chosen closer to the trip date and will be tailored to final group composition and interests. 


Crag options for this trip include:

-Darkside (5.8-5.12+)

-Little Russia (5.6-5.12+)

-Waterknot Wall (5.8-5.12+)

-Abraham Slabs (5.5-5.11+) - if higher number of newer outdoor climbers


Note - we will aim to accommodate all skill levels (including never ever outdoor climbers!) and encourage an open, peer-supported learning environment. How we go about that will depend on the final group. Open to splitting into two groups/two crags one of the days.


The only skill prerequisite for this trip is the ability and knowledge needed to safely belay. 



Accommodations: 


Trip coordinators will be camping at a designated crown land camping spot on Abraham Lake. Anyone is welcome to join (no booking necessary - precise location will be shared prior to the weekend). 


 If camping isn't your cup of tea, there is a hotel in Nordegg and hostel at Shunda Creek (google 'HI-Shunda Creek Hostel').

 

Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodations and transportation. Though we will create a group chat a couple weeks prior to the trip where carpooling and accommodations can be coordinated. 


Email any questions to pmoor093@gmail.com.

*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 Edmonton Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
