| Notes: |
|
Disclaimer: Neither Heather nor I have done this scramble before.
We have heard the runnels on Boatrock (not an official name) are pretty impressive, and we want to check them out for ourselves.
Depending on the route, this is rated as a difficult scramble or a "climbers" scramble. One route is high fourth-class, and the route with the runnels is low fifth-class (5.0 to 5.1.)
The total distance is ~13 km, and the total elevation is ~900m.
You can read more about the scramble in Brendan Clark's blog post here.
If you are interested in a bit of adventure but have questions, feel free to contact me.

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