| Itinerary: |
|
We will plan to start hiking at around 9:15. At this time of year, the cliff doesn't go into the sun until around 11:00. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to hike up to the cliff, so you'll get your cardio in as well! We'll plan to leave the crag no later than 4:00.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Helmet, harness, rock shoes, belay device. Lunch and water. Sturdy hiking shoes for the walk up. Please indicate if you can bring a 60 m rope and/or a dozen or so quick draws. I have a full set up, but if there are more than three of us, we'll need a second rope and draws.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
Layers. Temperatures up there can vary widely, depending on the wind.

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.
