Itinerary:

Course Content: This one-day course introduces both novice ice climbers as well as more experienced winter climbers to the wild world of mixed climbing. Many people are unnecessarily intimated by mixed terrain so this is an opportunity to discover the tricks of trade in a safe, learning environment. Even if mixed climbing isn’t  your thing, the skills acquired will make pure ice climbing feel easier. Areas of focus will include hazard evaluation, drytooling, thin ice, hanging pillars/curtains, efficient movement and resting. Prerequisite: No previous mixed experience is required but some ice climbing experience is preferred but not absolutely necessary, especially if you have a rock climbing background. Participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.

Required Items to Bring:

Equipment: Participants should have their own harness, helmet, belay device, boots, crampons (mono-points are ideal but not necessary) and ice tools. I can supply extra ice tools to try and might have an extra pair of mono-point crampons, but these items can also be rented from Yamnuska 403-678-4164

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.
