We will decide an exact start time when the group is locked in. We will head out to Rogers Pass and scramble Mount Afton and Mount Abbott. The trip is approximate 18 km and 1400 m elevation. We will go at a moderate pace, but will have to adapt the speed to ensure we are done in a safe and a reasonable time.
Not a whole lot of beta is available, but some pictures and information can be found here, for those interested: https://sonnybou.ca/ssbou2020/abbottafton.html

Bad weather will cause the trip to be delayed or cancelled. We can push it to later in the week if needed.
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.
